Welcome! Thank you for your interest in my work!
Please note that the work you see in the photos and video are completed commissions and are NOT for direct sale! This listing is so you can create your own personalized clawed sleeves the way you want! However, I am willing to craft duplicates that you see in the photos, but these are made to order so they all take the same amount of time to make.
These clawed sleeves can be used for more than just fursuits! They can be used for cosplays, Renaissance outfits, Halloween costumes, Haunt outfits, and so much more the possibilities are endless! The best part? YOU get to customize how they look!
-FITTING-
These sleeves are made of spandex and can fit from a glove size 6” to a glove size 9” with the largest size being described as a snug fit, but keep in mind spandex adjusts to you and will feel more comfortable the more you wear it over time! I do not recommend ordering if you are larger than that glove size!
-HOW THEY ARE MADE-
The base of the sleeves are made of a soft spandex and stretches to fit almost any arm size!
I then use luxury faux fur and hand sew it onto the spandex using upholstery thread and blanket stitching. Claws (plastic by default or PLA Filament for custom) and aluminum scales are then applied via hot glue and gorilla glue mix. Hot glue is so the claws and scales attach to the base of the fur and the gorilla glue assists to attach them to the fibers. This allows them to be long lasting, able to bend with your fingers so they can still articulate, as well as be sturdy enough to not fall off easily!
Keep in mind that the scales are meant to mainly stick to the fur fibers and base and not each scale! So you may see glue underneath them, but this is not so your fingers are able to move. If they were stuck to each scale, your fingers would struggle to move properly and you would snap them off of each other anyway.
As simple as this may sound, these sleeves take a lot of work! Measuring, cutting, hand sewing only (no machine involved), utilizing multiple fake models, gluing, communicating with clients, and approximately 25-30 hours is mandatory to complete one pair.
Despite this, I can complete this in 3-5 days! This is a great order to make if you need them in a pinch for an event, a gift, or simply to complete your suit without waiting too long!
*NOTE: Etsy states delivery dates are long as my custom orders pile sometimes. When this happens and I have to order supplies for your order, I’d rather have an exaggerated delivery date and have your order arrive way sooner, than manually delay your order due to high influx of orders (I am also a one man army).
I will always communicate with you what is happening with your supplies, when they arrive (and show cool pictures!!), and when production starts as well as updates! So you will never be left in the dark!
-CUSTOMIZABLE OPTIONS-
There are so many colors of faux fur out there, it’s crazy! If you’re not sure what color you’d like, feel free to check out Howl Fabrics or Fursuit Supplies and let me know what color you desire! I LOVE trying out new colors!
Scales are completely optional as well! But you can also have multiple colors of them!
Claws also come in multiple forms! My default claws (The ones shown off in the primary photo and video) are always free of charge! However, if you’d like something more custom, I work personally with a friend who can create a custom blueprint to 3D print any claw size, curve, and shape you desire!
If you’re looking for something different, but already made up, check out the link below to XYZCostume! They make amazing custom 3D printed claws that are tailored to your digit size for every finger and work very well with my sleeves!
These sleeves are not naturally made with paw pads due to how I tend to shave them and because it can cause more limited movement on the hands. So if you’d like furred pads, please let me know in the description box!
NOTE: As I can only attach two options for you to select, if you’d like more than one color of fur, but are not sure if this changes the price (sometimes it does!!!!), PLEASE MESSAGE ME PRIOR! I can always make you a private listing or have you select specific options to make the price fit the same, or I can do the extra color for you at no extra cost! 🥰
-SHIPPING-
I ship worldwide! Woohoo! 🥳
Tracking is provided for all orders with USPS being my primary choice of carrier.
PLEASE NOTE: If your country does not come up as an option for you to order, please message me and let me know your country! There is typically a reason for it either through Etsy or my listings end and it can be fixed! ❤️
-POLICY-
Due to these being specifically tailored to your liking and being very meticulously hand made, I DO NOT accept returns, refunds, or exchanges. However, I am always available to all of my clients for tutoring on repairs in the case that damage happens. I always explain how to care for these sleeves in terms of brushing, washing, and wearing when I ship them to you so you know how to handle them with the best knowledge possible, but I do understand mistakes happen.
If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me! I typically respond within minutes, if not, a couple hours!
Thank you for reading and have an amazing day!
