Most early fursuit making was done by the suit's owner using guides released by members of the community, with one of the most prominent being ''Critter Costuming'', a 2004 manual by Adam Riggs. However, by the mid-2000s, the demand for high-quality fursuits was high enough that fursuit making became a viable business.<ref name="hay" /> Furries began to commission specialized makers with their custom designs or open-ended requests. Including used suits, the industry now sells millions of dollars worth of suits each year, and organizations such as sports teams are increasingly commissioning custom-made fursuits for their mascots.<ref name="hay" />
⚫ == Types of fursuit ==
The standard fursuit is a full body costume that consists of a head, forepaws (hands), hindpaws (feet) and a body with an attached ]. In some cases, the tail is connected via a belt to the wearer and hangs out through a hole in the back of the body.<ref name="ftext">{{Cite web|url=http://www.geocities.com/pilotwolf143/furry_text.htm|title=Furry text|accessdate=2007-11-03|publisher=Shadow Wulf's Alphas|year=2000|archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20080628203321/http://www.geocities.com/pilotwolf143/furry_text.htm|archivedate=2008-06-28}}</ref> Many suits include special padding or ]s to give the character its desired shape (this is especially present in larger characters or those of a particular gender).

According to ] in 2018, a few fursuit makers in recent years have gained a larger audience by making mascots for mainstream organizations.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Hay|first=Mark|title=Furry Suit Makers Go Mainstream Making Mascot Suits|url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/markhay/2018/11/30/furry-suit-makers-go-mainstream-making-mascot-suits/|access-date=2021-12-11|website=Forbes|language=en}}</ref>
A partial suit or half-suit has all of the parts of the standard suit, with exception to the body. This allows the wearer to have different clothes over the paws, head and tail, such as another costume or street clothes. In partial suits, the tail is usually attached to a belt, and the arms and legs have sleeves that can go up as far as the ]s and ], respectively.<ref name="ftext"/>


== Fursuit construction ==
Most recently, a third type known as the three-quarter suit has been developed, which consists of a head, arms and pants made to look like the legs, tail and feet of a specific animal, or a torso in place of legs. This type of fursuit works well for characters who only wear a shirt without pants or just a pair of pants without a shirt.<ref>{{cite book|last=Riggs|first=Adam|year=2004|title=]|publisher=Ibexa Press|isbn=0967817072}}</ref>

== Demographics ==
Not all furry fans are interested in fursuits, or owns one if they are. At ] 2006, 213 of 1441 attendees participated in the fursuit parade,<ref> (2006-11-20)</ref> while ] wore suits at Anthrocon 2007.

== Reasons for fursuiting ==
Furries who own fursuits enjoy wearing them for ]s, exhibitions, conventions and informal meetings. Often, the suits depict a personal character and are used in a form of role play, or for expressing their owners' "true" personality. Some fursuiters do not talk while in costume to "preserve the magic" - of those who do, many use costumes with movable jaws.


Fursuits can be expensive to clean,<ref name="fluffpiece">{{cite news |last=Maass |first=Dave |title=Fluff Piece |date=October 7, 2007 |publisher=Santa Fe Reporter |url=http://sfreporter.com/stories/fluff_piece/1966/ |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130202051125/http://sfreporter.com/stories/fluff_piece/1966/ |url-status=dead |archive-date=2013-02-02 |access-date=2008-04-03 }}</ref> although many modern-day suits are machine-washable.<ref name="wall">{{Cite news |last=Wall |first=Kim |title=It's not about sex, it's about identity: why furries are unique among fan cultures |url=https://www.theguardian.com/fashion/2016/feb/04/furry-fandom-subculture-animal-costumes |date=February 4, 2016| work=] |access-date=2017-07-17 |language=en-GB |issn=0261-3077}}</ref>

Many are hired through an agency to represent a character, while others bring their own constructions to an event instead.<ref name='fluffpiece' /> There are also several ] fursuiting groups across ] that either ask or are asked to entertain at various ]s.

Fursuits are custom-made anthropomorphic animal costumes owned and worn by cosplayers and members of the furry fandom, commonly known as "furries"; a furry who wears a fursuit is called a fursuiter. The term is believed to have been coined in 1993 by Robert King. Unlike mascot suits, which are usually affiliated with a team or organization, fursuits represent an original character created by their wearer, and are often better-fitting and more intricately crafted, with features such as a moving jaw. Fursuits are made in a wide range of styles, from cartoonish to highly realistic.

History

See also: Furry fandom § History

An early fursuit worn by former Disney mascot wearer Robert Hill, based on the feminine character "Hilda the Bamboid", appeared at the first ever furry convention, ConFurence 0, in 1989, but most furries of the time simply wore ears and tails, influenced by their intersection with the anime and sci-fi fandoms. Fursuits did not become widely known until the mid-1990s and the rise of the Internet, which led to the spread of ideas on costume making.

Most early fursuit making was done by the suit's owner using guides released by members of the community, with one of the most prominent being Critter Costuming, a 2004 manual by Adam Riggs. However, by the mid-2000s, the demand for high-quality fursuits was high enough that fursuit making became a viable business. Furries began to commission specialized makers with their custom designs or open-ended requests. Including used suits, the industry now sells millions of dollars worth of suits each year, and organizations such as sports teams are increasingly commissioning custom-made fursuits for their mascots.

According to Forbes in 2018, a few fursuit makers in recent years have gained a larger audience by making mascots for mainstream organizations.

Fursuit construction

Fursuits originated due to the dissatisfaction with the quality of mass-produced mascot costumes. Fursuit making is a growing industry, with new costume makers who handcraft custom suits entering the market every week. A few dozen of these makers are highly respected and command prices up to $4,500 or more for a full suit, while there are several hundred more who charge less, usually between $600 and $1,000. Some of these, however, are "fly-by-night" operations or make suits of sub-par quality, leading to the proliferation of fursuit review sites to weed them out. There is heavy turnover of these smaller makers, with only a third of them able to stay afloat, due to suit-making being labor-intensive, and requiring a unique style and a following. People also sometimes make fursuits from scratch as a hobby without opening a business themselves.

To have a fursuit fit correctly, many fursuit makers want a "duct tape dummy" to be made, which will measure and represent the wearer's body during the construction process. Fursuits are often made with faux fur that may be sourced from places like the Los Angeles Fashion District. A single suit can take more than 200 hours of work and sell for thousands of dollars.

Fursuits can be expensive to clean, although many modern-day suits are machine-washable.

Types of fursuits

Besides the typical full-body suit, the partial suit, where the suit's body is substituted by normal clothing, is a popular variation. Three-quarter suits only include part of the body, like the torso or legs, appearing similarly to a funny animal character. Quadsuits are one of the most challenging and expensive types of costumes to make, and involve the wearer walking on all fours with arm extensions to create the illusion of a real animal. A plush suit is a suit that is made to look like a stuffed animal/plushie. There are also fursuits made of other materials, such as spandex or latex.

Fursuits can range from cartoon-styled to hyper-realistic. The most popular animals for fursuits to be based on are dogs and big cats. They may also be based on fictional animal hybrids. Some suits may include integrated technology, such as LED lights and programmed expressive eyes.

In culture

An individual wearing a cat fursuit at Furry Weekend Atlanta in 2024.

Fursuits are heavily associated with the furry fandom by the general public, despite the fact that only about 15 percent of furries own a fursuit, mainly due to their cost being prohibitively high.

They may also be seen as overtly sexualized due to negative coverage from shows like CSI, though this is typically not the case. However, according to a 2019 study, only 8.8% of furries had a fetish for fursuits. Researcher Courtney Plante stated in 2015 the vast majority of furries "don't want to hear about sex in fursuits, and while they might not reject you, they don't want to know."

Furries who own a fursuit often base them on a "fursona", an anthropomorphic character that represents themselves. Dedicated fursuiters may own as many as a dozen suits based on different characters. Despite being stereotyped as "basement dwellers" still living at home with their parents by many outside the subculture, many members of the furry fandom aspire to be society's highest earners, in part to afford expensive fursuits and associated furry art.

Fursuits are usually worn to furry conventions such as Midwest FurFest and Anthrocon. Some fursuits of existing characters are made for the purposes of cosplay and are worn to anime or gaming conventions. They are also worn in public, though this often requires a spotter or handler to ensure the safety of the performer from things like rowdy people, exhaustion or accidents due to limited vision.

Esports champion SonicFox became notable in the gaming community for participating in and winning fighting game tournaments while wearing a partial fursuit of their fursona created by fursuit maker Yamishizen. They later ordered two new full suits from the same maker.
