Fursuit Warranty & Care
Updated Jan 2026
-For all commissions & Premade Items-
Looking to buy a Fursuit or even getting a plush from me and want some information about caring for them and the warranty -
Take a read below.
Fursuits & Plushies have very similar care guides, so this applies to both!
The first thing to note is NONE of my work is FOR CHILDREN.
Most of this information below is common sense, suits are a luxury item and the price reflects the weeks of work, hours of time and expensive materials used to create them, they are not toys.
Fursuit are wearable art pieces and must be treated with care to avoid damaged, lost parts, abuse.
Handmade items.
It's extremely to remember the most human part of Fursuit making -
Is the human hands making your suit, handmade is NOT perfection.
Visible seams, small sections of fur being clipped or small threads being there are literally fine, I try as hard as I can to minimise all visible seams, cut fur, and threads I try to snip em all, any faults like bald spots are highlighted / redone before you even see them too!
If you notice a seam- that's great handmade items are literally handsewn / machine sewn, the parts are sewn together you will notice some seams more then others- If you don't like the idea of seeing a seam I certainly hope you don't buy anything sewn-
They have to have seams, I brush out all my seams to make them less visible.
Zippers
Never force a zipper to open!
If a zipper is stuck and won't move gently move any fur off the track beofre trying again, never pull or yank anything with force.
Velcro Straps
All my suit's have velcro straps, there's three of them-
Two ones the sides and one on the top centre of the head, they all work together to give you the most easiest way to fit your head nicely.
When putting on your head you'll want to have centre top velrco strap laying open down the back of your head- then do the two side straps up, then simply do up the centre one on with one side over the top of the two others, nice and easy!
Inside your suit
So you may have seen Balaclava's been worn and wondered if you need one or not?
Well let's chat about them!
My suits are fully lined- meaning you dont "have" to wear one since their aint anything exposed one the insides of your suit
Mouth openings-
All my suit's I made large eyes and mouth's for a reason -
Air flow, vision and of course they look cute!
You may notice the wear's mouth inside the suit's mouth, this can be less visible with a balaclava.
Are you hairy?
To my bear friends and those with thicc hair take note!
Facial hair, long hair, afro hair -
All matter when wearing a suit in a rather fun way-
Velcro will grab your hair, it's like those microfibre cloths that grip your hands in the creepy way- Velcro does the same and will hurt if you strap your hair into it!
I would recommend a balaclava to help keep your luscious hair safe and make the suit more comfy when wearing
Glasses Friendly?
Oh indeed they are, I wear glasses 24/7 so every single suit is glasses compatible, and for reference I have larger rimmed glasses so I make sure I can fit in each head as I’m making them!
All suit’s have a removable pillow in them, this sits above the nose section inside the suit and can be added to push more space between your nose & eyes and head’s base!
Lining
It’s always pretty – no plain colours here!
Yes it’s true, I cant go neutral or plain colours, even though you are the only one to see your fursuit’s lining I still love to have bold and funky colours / pattern in them.
The suit inside the face are fully lined, along with the neck sections too!
You can even choose what lining design you would like to have ordered for your suit, making them truly unique to your character!
Magnetic Parts
I love having magnetic tongues, the magnet is placed under the mouth’s lining and is hidden from view, and the other magnetic is inside the tongue itself!
Magnetic parts should be handled gently, never yank or rip a magnet part off vertically, instead simply slide them apart, it’s far better for the magnets life / strength!
Head padding is also magnetic making is nice and smooth on the inside if you choose not to use the little pillow padding
Fur swatch card
All my fursuits that I have made come with a care card, and a swatch care these should be kept somewhere so you can refer back to them, the swatch card is included if you decide to add onto your suit
(e.g make feet paws) or any other additional parts I don't create-
simply let the other maker know the fur's colour and where it was from for the best match
Fursuit Embroidery
This is extremely important.
Any suit with embroidery must be taken care of slightly differently
NEVER BRUSH OVER THE EMBROIDERY.
If you brush over this the brushes teeth may pull the stitches out-
This can't be repaired and would need the entire section redone. -
Which isn't possible to do without removing a large portion of the suit.
Fursuit Damages
This is a big one, fursuits is treated with care will very very rarely have anything come loose / off them, all my seams are machine and handsewn for extra durability. However if this somehow happens you can send the suit back to be for repairs providing it's not caused by misuse- (see more below)
Damages I will NOT cover.
Incorrectly Handling / Use / Excessive Motions
Incorrect Handling
These are the main reasons suits can have damages which is 100% user error, grabbing your suit / holding them by the ears, neck or snout is going to stress the seams, you should not be handling them this way all, when carrying your suit be gentle and support the whole head.
Incorrect Use
When wearing a Fursuit you will have blind spots, this should be very obvious, but you will need to take care if your suit has wide ears, large ears, antennae, hanging piercings- These parts can be knocked / crashed into walls, door frames, ceilings or other people, so be careful and learn to walk around at home before attending a full day con in a suit!
I'll also note, I don't mind what anyone does behind closed doors, my suits weren't indeed to be used for Murr Suiting or active NSFW content, as such I can't advise for safe washing techniques.
Stay safe!
Excessive Motions
Playing DDR, Skydiving or extreme wii sports
Doing very large gesture's can be done yes, but be careful with magnetic parts, as they can only stay attached with usual movements not crazy gestures
Sending the suit back for repairs-
Any Fursuit repairs must have the suit shipped back to me, using express, tracked, and fully insured post - this costs around $65-$75 at the post office- the box must be large enough the suit protected appropriately.
Failure to send them via this method I am NOT responsible for any postal damages or lost parcels, this is why you pay for insurance.
Fursuit Lost Parts
I am not responsible if you have lost parts to your suit. your suit is your responsibility to keep together, if you have lost parts that use magnetic attachments you must try to find them, walk around your house with another magnet to find them easier- but all magnetic parts are larger then 3cm so they will be easy to find.
Lost hair / Magnetics
These parts can't be easily remade, as I would need the suit to correctly remake them as each pattern is done directly off the head and I don't keep patterns for any suit.
Definitely try sourcing local makers for help with replacing parts that have become lost, this will be at your expensive as it's not a fault of mine simply lost property.
These parts also are hard to replace / remake due to the materials, if I made your suit 1 year ago I definitely won't have the same materials on hand, same with suits made a month ago- most suit's use all the material I have available at the time- I keep no scraps.
Sending a full head back is a costly procedure and you will need to pay freight both ways for this, making smaller parts yourself can be very rewarding process or finding a local in your area can also help
3D Printed piercings
If I have printed you a special part, and you have lost it, there's a chance I still have the 3D file on hand and the right filament, so I can reprint it for you- however the size might not be the same as what was originally used, so I'll ask you to measure the part so we can try get it as close as possible, you will need to pay for the shipping for the earring in the post (I'll quote you on this)
Anything 3D printed is heat sensitive so never leave these parts in a hot car or expose to high heats as they will deform
Burnt / Damaged Fur
Have you been doing something stupid like wearing a Fursuit while taking pizza out of an oven?
Well as I have stated in many locations Faux Fur is NOT friendly around heat, it will literally burn. melt, singe, and curl badly around heat
I do not fix any heat or excess water damages as this is not my fault.
Do not go swimming with your damn suit- seriously I can't believe I have to state this, but no swimming - yes the eyes are waterproof, meaning if they get wet no dye runs off them.
The only time your should have a wet suit is if you are handwashing them in a cold water bath. (more on this later down)
Flood water, arson, pet attacks or eshay attacks are not suit faults they are your fault, be careful and treat your suit well!
Fursuit Grooming
When grooming your suit it's very easy and straight forward-
Use a gentle soft tipped hairbrush and brush the fur the correct way down, no pressure, no pulling just brush the hair as you would your hair (but more gentle)
My Fursuit heads- In particular the faces are short fur that dont need brushing on them, this is also due to the embroidery and I love a short clean face.
NEVER USE A METAL TIPPED / SLICKER BRUSH.
Fursuit Spray
Fursuit sprays are a must have, not only do they smell amazing but they disinfect your suit, which is essential to keeping them hygienic and smelling amazing!
Fursuit Washing
If you need to wash your Fursuit absolutely no washing machines.
I highly recommend hand washing in a bath tub with COLD water, hot water / hairdryers will damage the fur badly.
Simply fill a tub up with cold water, add some soap of your choice, fully submerge the suit like washing a feral cat - soap up, rinse out until all the soap is gone and leave the suit unzipped / open to air dry - drying will take many hours this is completely normal, place them the head in a warm room, cold fan on to help dry a bit faster
** Do not hang your suit on a sunny clothes line, for two reasons -
ears / neck are not for hanging, this will cause immense stress on the seams!
Sun. Our Aussie sun will roast your suit alive, printed bases are temperature resistant to quite a lot of heat, the faux fur however? Nope, never expose faux fur to any excessive heat, such as the hot sun for several hours, an open oven or a hairdryer this literally causes heat damage to the fur.
Please remember your suit is a piece of art - not an indestructible motorcycle helmet.
Green machine / water vacuum machines for cleaning -
I don’t recommend using these as I have never used one, so I can’t say how they work or how gentle they actually are,
I am not responsible if you use one and damage your suit.
