#oh another note: dutchcolors customer service is good as well

what materials did you use for your fursuit tail (if you don’t mind me asking :]])? it looks really cool!!

Thank you! I don't mind you asking at all! Im gonna be a bit elaborate, since this is info I'd personally have liked when I started 😅

For the inside of the tail, I bought a big foam tube ('polyether SG 25', according to the site) which I cut down to the right size

The furs are all luxury shag which I got from two online stores, dutchcolour.nl and naehstich.de, except the short brown on top, which is a bunny fur from naehstich. I also bought minky from both.

(For the colors i got, dutchcolours luxury shags looked a bit better than naehstichs, whose shags were a bit crumpled, but the bunny fur is very soft and nice. and if you need any color minky and you're in or around Germang I'd definitely recommend Naehstich, they've got a LOT of colors)

The beltloop and base are made from a curtain fabric we still had lying around which never made it into a curtain, though I just picked it because it's a strong fabric without any stretch

The threads are just standard all-purpose threads of whatever the closest color was that we already had.

Also, since I'm planning to make an actual partial fursuit, to shave the fur I got a "Kerbl clipster DeloX" pet clipper for €40 which I used on the black and dark brown parts, and it shaved that very well. Apparently what separates the good (expensive) clippers from the bad (cheap) is how fast the blade dulls, so only time will tell if my choice to go for a relatively cheap one works out... so far though, no complaints!
