Custom Fur Information
**Please note: Due to COVID-19 and current related manufacturer delays and production issues, we are temporarily suspending new custom fur orders until the situation is more certain. Since we are currently operating without any kind of delivery estimates for custom fur, we do not want to end up holding deposits indefinitely with no idea when goods can be delivered. If you would like, you can contact us at customerservice@fursuitsupplies.com to register your interest in a custom run, and we will contact you as soon as we are able to accept these orders again. Thank you for your understanding!**
So, you’re looking to have your own custom fur run made? Here’s how it works!
The Rules
Luxury Shag | Luxury Fox | Beaver Fur | Flokati Shag |Bunny Shag
The Rules
- 3-5 month lead time. May take longer under some circumstances.
- 5-10 yard minimum order depending on the style requested.
- Solid colors ONLY at this time. We cannot do patterns or multi-toned furs for small runs.
- A physical color sample is required. This can be a paint swatch from a hardware store, an existing fur sample, another kind of fabric sample, etc.
- Full payment is required up front.
- Important: we are only able to do a run this small ONCE per color/style combination.After a small custom run takes place, if you or anyone else wants the same color/style combination remade, we are required to order at least 300 yards (a full size fur run). This is something that usually is only possible for the most popular furs. This is why it’s very important to order as much as you will need; there is no guarantee we will ever be able to bring back the same color/style again.
- Clarification: If a color has only been made in one style (such as beaver), you could do a small run of the same color in another style that it has not already been made in (such as luxury fox). We are simply not allowed to repeat the exact combination a second time without a full-sized run.
- Once you initiate a micro-run, we will post the color up for other customers to preorder for 2 weeks. This is beneficial because if more people sign up, prices go down for everyone! The final price per yard is based on the TOTAL number of yards preordered.
- We may order extra on top of the amount requested to sell on the site later, but we may not always do this so please make sure to order as many yards as you need. Any extra sold on the site will be sold at the maximum price (such as: luxury fox for $65/yd, etc).
The Styles
Small runs are now available in more styles than ever before! Some styles have higher minimums than others.
Luxury Shag: This is our standard 1” pile faux fur. It’s currently available in a lot of colors, and is the most cost effective type to custom run.
- Minimum order: 5 yards
- Starts at $50/yd and decreases from there based on total quantity.

Placing an order
1. Figure out what color you would like and locate a physical color sample. We recommend paint samples from a hardware or paint store! However, the physical sample can be just about anything; this includes another faux fur sample, a fabric sample, a color printed on a paper,etc. The physical sample is important to make sure that everyone involved in the process sees the same color.
2. Contact us at customerservice@fursuitsupplies.com with your custom fur inquiry. Let us know which color/style you’re interested in, and how many yards you would like to order. Please note, you are required to order at least the minimum quantity listed above.
3. Send your physical color sample to our mailing address. Please be sure to include your name and email address:
FursuitSupplies.com
Attn: Custom Run Sample (we will give you a reference number to include on this line when you email us)
8311 Brier Creek Pkwy
Suite 105-254
Raleigh, NC 27617
4. Once we receive the sample and confirm that the color is eligible in the style requested, we will invoice you for the fur requested.
5. When the invoice is paid, we will list the custom run up on our site for others to join in on for two weeks. This helps bring the cost down for you as well as everyone else who is interested!
6. Once we have closed preorders, you will be refunded any difference in price minus applicable shipping costs. We will then place the order with the mill.
7. About 3-5 weeks after the order is placed with the mill, we will receive a sample for approval. This sample will be forwarded to you for your approval.
8. Once approved, the fur should arrive to us within 2-4 months. Transit time can sometimes be reduced if you are willing to cover the cost of air freight (this shortens the arrival time by at least 6-8 weeks), but this can cost well over$1,000. This also may not always be an option. Please let us know if you are interested in this avenue. An exact quote cannot be provided for this until production has concluded.
9. Once we receive notice that we will begetting your custom fur in stock soon, we will check in with you and everyone else who has preordered to ensure the address we have on file is still correct.Then we will ship the fur to you! Enjoy!
