What is CityMutt?
CityMutt is a fursuit making company dedicated to enriching the fursuiting experience. We make stylish designs and love tackling challenging species.
Our company is headed by Molly Prawel, also known as “BlasterBlurby”, who has been a fursuit maker since 2013. We are proudly located in North Carolina, USA—but have provided Fursuits for enthusiasts all over the world.
What is a fursuit?
A fursuit is a high quality animal costume, similar to a mascot's costume. It is a work of art that you can wear and perform in. Fursuits are typically custom-built to fit the performer and to replicate the performer's chosen character or “fursona”.
Fursuits can be made in many artistic styles, the most common being: Toony, Realistic, Semi-Realistic, and Kemono. A fursuit in the toony style will have the look of a cartoon animal, so it will often have exaggerated features. The realistic style closely resembles nature, in that the fursuit will almost look like a real animal. The semi-realistic style is a mixture of the toony and realistic styles, which results in a costume that has a balance of natural and unnatural features. The kemono style originated in Japan and is otherwise known as the "anime style". A fursuit made in the kemono style will look like a Japanese anime character.
Fursuits can also be broken up into three more categories: Full-suit, Half-suit, and Partial. Full-suits are considered a complete costume and cover the wearer's body in total. A typical full-suit consists of a head, a tail, a bodysuit, hands, and feet. Half-suits cover most of the wearer's body except for either the legs or the torso. Half-suits consist of a head, a tail, hands, feet, and either have "pants" or a "shirt". Partials can be a combination of a few different items, but generally a partial would have at least a head, tail, and hands. A partial could also include sleeves for the wearer's arms and a set of feet.
What We Sell
CityMutt takes fursuit commissions and sells fursuit making supplies. A fursuit commission is for customers who would like a costume custom-built to their specifications. A commissioned fursuit is made to fit the customer's body and match their own character. For more information on the commission process, please click here.
CityMutt also has an online store where you can buy some of the same supplies that we use to build fursuits. These supplies are perfect for someone who wants to build their own fursuit. We also offer tutorials about how to use our products to build your own beautiful fursuit. To view our tutorials, please click here.
More so, CityMutt sells the fursuiting experience. It sells the excitement of receiving your fursuit and wearing it for the first time to the amazement of your friends and family. It sells the ability to become something other than yourself.
