First of all, I must apologise to  Little-Wolf, for the poor way in which I treated the tail she made for me (I know I commissioned it, but it's still not great to see your creations handled badly), it hasn't been fit to wear since about July/August last year.
To replace it, I decided to make my own tail. It would make like Andrex and be soft, strong and long. It has a lightweight spine for realism and stiffness (if you want to know how I made it you'll have to ask me VERY nicely), the angled tip of my fursona's tail and is long enough to show beneath my favourite coat. It has a built-in belt that can be removed with some effort if need be. The fur is removable for washing (normally held on by the belt) and is high-quality yet cheap, being sourced from Zebedee Fabrics. It is easy to wag and it was meant to be able to curl upwards too, by means of a string-pull system, but that has yet to be made to work.
I also modified an old pair of trousers to have a 'tail sleeve' as described in so many furry stories. The drawstring is an optional extra.
So, tell me what you think, and if you're interested in having one made this way of your own I might add furry accessories to Vulpine Designs Unlimited's capabilities.
