s'why i make me own hehe

It can take far less if you want something cheap.

But anything well made will take a while, and those that do a good job often wind up with a queue building up and thus the large part of the wait time often enough.

Other times, what your wanting is just... complex. My suit for example has been under construction since March. While the fursuit itself is mostly finished, there is still alot of work left to do on the -rest- of the suit.

Who did you get yours from? OMG I WANT TO SEE IT WHEN ITS DONE.

Depends on the schedule of the person.
I know http://www.surfcatcostumes.com has an excellent turn around.

NobleWolf did my ram in a couple months (from order to delivery), although I did sculpt my own head for it. I didn't like how it turned out tilll he put fur on it: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/1686164/

Yes, tell us who ya got to make it.

No one thats the problem, I had a business deal with DHC that got canned so now my hopes of having a suit by MFM or MFF are shot :p I looked at Fursuiters but their commission block is for mid/late 2010 . Im just not comfortable paying over 1k for somthing Im going to have to wait a year for. I can restore a car in 2 weeks with all the parts and materials in house Im just looking for a suit maker that is good and hasnt taken a backlog thats over a year long for a partial.

Good Lord, man! Well, I don't know what your expectations of good is, but jill0r, Joceifur and Kilcodo do pretty good, fairly cheap partials. They also, have a quick turn around.

It is what it is hun, you just have to wait like the rest of us. :P

You know.. Steve (WhiteFox) has a few openings for FC. I can put you in touch if you're interested :)
