Did you hand wash it or put in machine?

Hand wash.

Do you let it drip dry as well? If yes, I guess based on what others have said it should be fine and eventually a new body suit will have to be made in a few years depending on the # of times it's being washed as the material will always slowly release over time since none of the fiber is actually glued to the backing.

Yeah, I think this is the first time I have been out in Qing Long so long that's why most of the fur is shedding. Hopefully it will shed less in the future!

Unfortunately, such is the state of fursuits, they just can't last forever.

He should be all right I hope! ^_^

How old is the suit?

It's less than a year old, but it has really long fur so I suppose some amount of shedding is impossible to avoid.

I might be just being too anxious about it though. XD

I know the feeling, it's like your baby. You should be fine. :3

Long fur tends to shed especially since your suit is still fairly recent. If it's coming off in huge clumps though, or if it's a particular area losing a lot of fur, that may be a problem that you may need to check on. Is it one area or just the whole suit in general losing fur?

It's generally from the whole suit, and looks like it is shedding from the backing.

Oh well, I suppose it did had a lot of use over the Anthrocon period and I'm just too anxious about it. XD

Yeah, it'll always happen at conventions and as long as it's not coming off like crazy, it's fine that's just regular wear and tear for a fursuit. It was the same when I first got Tauntaun last year, I though he was gonna be naked!

I really wish that somebody can invent synthetic fur that can grow back, but something tells me that is going to led to some serious repercussions further down the manufacturing line. ;)

It would be useful for us fursuiters with synthetic fur for sure but in the long run a lot of producers or manfuctures would be out of business if fur just grew back like that

But hey, if something like that was made imagine Qing Long and Ronnie never worrying about old or frazzled fur anymore! XD

I'm more worried about the fur/skin going "FEEEEEEEEEEED ME" and turn into some sci-fi horror show. XD

But if manufacturers can ever manfacture safe self healing furs, that would be absolutely fantastic.

No, feeeeeeeeeeeeeed me instead!

*tosses you inside one of those "feed me" fursuits* :P

Noooo, I need to be alive a little longer so I can do all those Qinglong drawings! XD

Oh God, you just gave me nightmares for the weekend. LOL!

Self-healing furs, eh? Almost sounds like we really need some of that cosmic Tai Chi to achieve this!

Gah, FA is being silly with the nested replies! XD
