I think if you get a suit from a problematic maker before all the horrible stuff comes out that's fine, people who purchased dhc fursuits had no idea of the drama coming up and they should be allowed to keep their fursuit because they didn't know and at thst point what's done is done and you can't reverse it

Building my own suit, it's probably C tier work but it gives me S tier feelings

No......multicolour bark???? 😱 or phoenix nest???? They're like the OG makers??

I have a nearly 10 year old Fuzz Factory suit that I still wear. Commissioned them before they even had their business name. It's really interesting to see how their style has evolved through the years. Also interesting to see what people have commissioned their suits.
--> No one knows I have one of their suits since their style is so different.

one thing i would like to mention about More Fur Less is that they’re aware one of the employees is an active zoophile and refuse to do anything about it :/

(i believe the employees name is something like Koshi. Sorry that I can’t remember smaller details very well, I have POTS and one of the issues is memory fog and short term memory. I DO remember it started with a K though!)

And with DHC, in several of their suits the lining is stitched together with a single running stitch that often falls apart, I really hope that not the case with yours!

Morefurless would be on my S Rank

Really cool list! Pretty much agree for the most part, only a couple of comments I had:

1) Although Kemonokapi make kemono style fursuits, they’re not actually Japanese! They’re based in Canada (I should know, I’m getting a suit from them next year :3)

2) To my knowledge, One Fur All has even more notorious wait time issues than even the makers you mentioned as having wait time issues. I’m aware of someone who’s been waiting for their One Fur All suit for over 8 years for example x..x

I've been always keep on eye with Clockwork creature, they are pricey but considering the realism and the detail work behind it, I don't mind it

I paid for my MoreFurLess suit in June 2021 and they say they're on track to make it at the end of this year! I personally don't mind waiting at all, since I know they're reputable for quality, and my character is extremely expressive. They've been nothing but kind since I submitted my quote, and I think it's soooo worth it!

Plus they're making my sona's robotic arm when the other makers I contacted weren't comfortable enough to try! :D

I don't even have my suit yet and they're wonderful!

Hey there good list. I have a Lemonbrat suit myself and it's actually really sturdy. I don't have a bodysuit just yet but I do have an order in, but their partials are really good and well made and they even helped me resize the arm sleeves for a better fit.

Unpopular opinion: I think it's sad to see a maker like DHC so down on the tier because of the allegations and drama. I'm not trying to defend this in any way, but I remember seeing a fursuit made by them when I was new in the fandom and I loved it. And after I learned about everything, it came as a big shock for me. It's really unfortunate, because they have talent and potential as a fursuit maker, but what they did is unforgivable

I agree with how you ranked everything except for morefurless, i believe its quality more than makes up for the time it takes to get it to you, i would have it at S tier or A tier

Really? Complaining about the 2 year wait for Lacy but not mentioning how there’s a ton of people STILL waiting for their One Fur All suit for 7 and 8 years, and several more that have waited 9 and 10 years, even one that took over 11 years? Ridiculous.

17:38 oh look it's my fiance, the blue wolf next to the husky plush. I was accepted with Thunderhowl and I can vouch for them. Speedy, as in payment to finished in about a year max with proper communication. Quality is there, Nea is still like new over a year later, no popped seams. Nea's face is a bit asymmetrical but you can barely tell in regular wear and I probably notice most as I see the most details in Nea

The fact that Multicolor bark isn’t on here is a crime

As a MFL Suiter, I set a deadline and it took about 6-7 months. I personally wouldn't put 'obnoxious' and 'toon' together. Hyper Toon is a thing as is Hyper Realistic. But that just a personal opinion. I'd say A-B.

Love the video! I absolutely adore houndsteeth, artkour and citymutt.

I adore the shaping of the paws and digitigrade on houndsteeth suits, the handpaws create the illusion of an almost feral-like paw, and the footpaws are round! Not human foot shaped! (Personal pet peeve of mine) and the digi leg padding flows so well from hip to knee to hock to foot, the human leg is masked so well.

ArtKour suits are pretty much my favourite, they have so! Much! Attitude! Plus I feel they’re one of the best makers at avoiding same-face, they design their characters each time, and if you see the concept art alongside the final suit it’s absolutely crazy how spot on the result is, it’s like the character just stepped out of the page!

Citymutt I love for their unique construction style, they have so many little touches from how they shave the fur on their faces to additional magnetic parts that make them stand out utterly and completely pop. Some of their headbases I don’t really like the shaping for though, in particular their tiger and horse headbases. However I love their snow leopard base, their rabbit base and their fox base to absolute pieces!

DHC used to be my favourite before the drama happened, I’m actually friends with the owner of the cat suit you liked and she had glowing praises for the quality, comfort, turnaround and business practices. It’s a shame about what happened and how poorly the company responded to it when it came to light.

Same cat suit owner also got a suit from One Fur All, and had to wait eight years for it, she just got it last year! They’re definitely the worst for wait times by a long long way, but the suits are gorgeous, eyes especially. Apparently communication can be spotty but they were good about correcting a mistake they made in the markings.

She also has a suit from MixedCandy, unfortunately she really didn’t enjoy the communication or the final product. There was a mistake in the airbrushed face markings that makes them uneven, she got four finger handpaws instead of five like she ordered, and the head was given teeth when she asked for them not to be included. None of these mistakes were fixed, although it could have been because it was a trade and not a sale. Another friend of mine recently got a MixedCandy as well, he also suffered an extremely long wait time (2+ years), poor communication, multiple mistakes (though these were fixed) and frequent promised and then missed deadlines (we’re in the UK, and he was planning to pick up the suit at MFF 2019 which he was going to anyway. This should have been fine as it was due for completion in June 2019, but he didn’t actually get the suit until March 2020)
So although I adore MixedCandy’s suit style, I would never order from them based on how unreliable and uncooperative they are from others’ personal experience.

Another favourite maker of mine is Kloofsuits, a maker here in the UK. Their style is absolutely adorable, especially the eyes, and they’ve become quite well known for the excellent handpaw and headbase patterns they’ve released recently.

I also adore Peppercat’s fursuits, they’re STUNNING, but like ArtKour they pretty much only do personal projects and commissions for friends, so I will likely never be able to get a commission from them.

Anyway, sorry for the super long comment! I shoulda just made a video of my own, huh? 😆 but I’d never be able to narrow down the list of makers to rank!

Thanks for the video, it was great to watch after a long day at work 😊 hope wherever you are, you’re having a good one!

I love the background music!

Lemonbrat being at D is a travesty. I have had so many good experiences in all aspects with them. I would extremely reccomend redoing this list, especially with dhc deserving to be ousted

i swear if i had the money for these- i would buy them so fast- seriously, i have no idea how to get the money, but one day i will... but that day wont be anytime soon :(
