Prioritize that, over something as meaningless as a little more work. This business often is a ton of work without pay, but don’t let your clients pay the price, make the world feel inclusive with acts of generosity and it always returns that kindness to you tenfold
FurSuit making long term was never about the money, it was about allowing people to express themselves and having a trillion Easter eggs in their suit that make it feel that much more special.
Every suit is a work of art customized to each person. Making it as unique as possible to them as individuals is what makes this fulfilling.
Average out your prices accordingly, but do not think to charge more, for things ppl can’t help. Let’s make the world less discriminatory and safe for ppl to participate in
But if you aren’t pricing your suits to accommodate for averaging it out, you are actively destroying your business making more clients scared to set off your labor cost triggers. Yes, some suits will take more labor, others take less.
Yes, larger size people take more time to build for, whether that’s the extra volume in the DTD, trimming it, moving it around, all of that takes more labor. There’s no going around that.
For me, my fur stock is large enough for my entire queue x10. I carry excess always and order excess always, I already have all the fur I need for every project if it needed 3x the yardage
some people do and others don’t
In my opinion, it is WRONG to charge more for someone on something they can’t help. Feels very discriminatory. Couple yards of fur even with the worst international shipping can’t be more than $100.
If tariffs go into effect, if they are 10%, as suit makers, even twice the cost in fur per suit, isn’t worth a price hike of thousands
If tariffs go over 400%, even then, only should be adding a couple hundred.
Makers don’t need to pass every cost to the client
Should you charge more for a plus size client? Short answer- NO

Canyoneering involves a lot of meditative states, especially on the ascent. I’m currently training my stamina for the next expedition.

I used to not do this at all, but the level of stuff I’m doing now REQUIRES a ton of calories, and rest, both of which this helps me learn
Overall this trip pushed me in a great way. I have had long term internal bleeding, from a surgery complication, so it was really nice to be able to balance recovery with Canyoneering.
After allat, I went to Moab with Maxie from Alaska, took them to the canyon fork that 127 hours happened at, ate salmon in canyon that they hand caught, smoked and brought from there. SO COOL!! Love u Maxie!!
I took some time to practice high stemming, where it for once was easier to stem high over staying low. Safe to say I wedged myself to my hearts content safely! I solo ran an R rated canyon to practice setting up rappels.
Scott then built a cairn anchor requiring no webbing aka ghosting, so I was meat anchor for the backup
Running with Scott, we left a 200 foot rope after pulling the rope before a 180 ft rappel, we had to get creative to have enough rope length, so u can see the webbing ties we did to pull rope from then onward.
I was lucky enough to run with Scott, ascending up a gulley no one has gone up before. Next day I ran a canyon with friends that’s only been discovered since 2018.
