Frequently Asked Questions
Shop FAQ
Our Shop means the section of our site with purchasable stock items. Items that are ready to ship in 3-6 business days, and are not custom-made commission items.
Because we hand-make everything in the store, and we offer a large size range on clothing, so we don’t always have everything in-stock. We only have the materials in stock.
Sometimes it takes a couple days to create the item for you!
Yes! Everything in the store is hand made by our studio in Nashville, TN.
Nope. The price is the price, which is based on cost of materials, and production. Keep an eye out for occasional sales if you desire a deal.
No. You must be able to pay for it in full.
We do offer payment plans on commissioned items. Please see our commission sections for further info.
Yes! Please just email us (info@handmadefursuit.com) and tell us what you are interested in.
We can also do something more custom with added details.
Extra fees may apply, and you may be subject to an elongated turn around time if the item is complex. We will let you know all of these things in the quote & negotiation process, so you will know upfront.
Provided in each listing of a clothing item is a size chart. PLEASE compare your measurements to the provided size chart to test fit.
Non-clothing items often have the size listed in inches, so you can also check things like the length of a tail to know how low it will hang on your body and so-forth.
Please see our Refund and Returns Policy.
Fursuit Commissions FAQ
All the fursuits, and fursuit components that are commissioned from us. That means they are custom built for the individual purchaser.
Full suits start at $3,000 and increase based on how detailed/complex they are.
Please see our Style and Price Guide page for further information.
You must be at least 18 years of age, or your parent / legal guardian must make the purchase for you.
We are open for quotes, but are only accepting a couple of designs to bring to life at a time!
Before filling out a Fursuit Quote Form please, make sure you’ve familiarized yourself with our Fursuit Order Process and you’ve looked over our Fursuit Style & Price Guide.
As of November 2021, any custom fursuits we take on will have a turnaround time of approximately one year from the point where we have all your payments, measurements, and DTD. Previously accepted commissions are still staying within their 6-8 month turnaround time.
Parts commissions’ turnaround time varies on a case-by-case basis.
If you’re curious what your potential commission’s turnaround time would be, please email us at info@handmadefursuit.com to get an estimated turnaround time.
No, we are not. This is to ensure consistency with our style.
No, we will not make duplicates. The only exception is if the owner of the fursuit wants a duplicate of their own design, and the purchase is made directly from the owner.
Absolutely! We love making new and unique designs.
A note on Protogens: We do NOT make Protogens.
No! We like to do suits in our own style, and we don’t want to copy anyone else.
If you like the style of another maker, then we recommend trying to commission them instead. 🙂 There are plenty of awesome makers out there.
Each custom fursuit is specially made just for the individual commissioning. That takes time and money!
You are paying experts to create a one-of-a-kind piece of artwork for you. That takes high cost, high quality materials, extensive communication, time to carve heads, pattern custom fitted garments, expertise, and years of practice in the industry.
All of this amounts to the price of the suit. There are cheaper fursuit makers our there, but be aware that sometimes a cheaper price may mean cheaper quality.
