I have one, which I made myself (cheaper than buying from a maker, if you have the crafting skills to make it look decent - it actually took me about two years to make because I wanted to do a good job with it). But I don’t get to use it all that often, as my only option locally is the fantasy/sci-fi/comic convention in August - and the last couple of summers have been way too hot for me to be fursuiting in the sunshine! I enjoy it when the weather’s cool enough though, because there’s no other furries that go to that convention, so I really stand out - which is great for interactions with both other cosplayers and the general public. That’s the only reason I fursuit really. It’s fun being a big fluffy tiger booping Sith lords and pretending to be killed by a Dalek.

There’s meetups about 100 miles away that I used to go to, but the whole group is just far too dramatic for me. I do not have the energy for that much compulsive backstabbing! Which is a shame, because it would be nicer to get to use my fursuit more often. There is something special about fursuiting in a group.

It’s a $3000 suit you can only wear to conventions that are halfway across the country. Which is to say I’d love to own one, but there’s no way I can justify buying one.
