About Tail Works

Welcome to Tail Works, a premium custom fursuit studio based in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. We build high-quality, lightweight, and durable fursuits for clients worldwide.

Our mission is to bring characters to life using state-of-the-art engineering alongside traditional handcrafted sewing techniques.


Technical Innovation: TPU 3D-Printed Bases

Unlike traditional fursuits that rely on synthetic upholstery foam, Tail Works heads and parts are 100% 3D printed using TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) and foaming TPU.

[!TIP] Why TPU instead of Upholstery Foam?

  • Immunity to Moisture: TPU does not absorb sweat or humidity, preventing mold, odor buildup, and structural decay.
  • Lightweight & Breathable: Designed with custom wall thickness and ventilation channels to promote convective airflow, keeping the performer cooler.
  • Durability: TPU bases are flexible, virtually crush-proof, and hold their exact shape forever.

All custom 3D files and printed bases remain the intellectual property of Tail Works. Reverse engineering, molding, or reproduction is strictly prohibited.


Materials & Quality

We are dedicated to sourcing only the best materials:

  • Faux Fur: 100% premium imported synthetic faux fur. This allows for professional mechanical shaving and fine-detail shaving for expressive facial features and paw designs.
  • Inner Lining: High-performance sports mesh to wick sweat and maximize airflow.
  • Paws & Claws: Soft plush fabric (Minky/Velboa) for highly tactile, comfortable hand paws.

[!WARNING]

Severe Cat Allergy Warning

Please note that Tail Works is a home-based studio that contains cats. While all completed items are thoroughly cleaned, brushed, and sanitized before shipping, we cannot guarantee they are 100% free of cat dander. If you suffer from a severe or life-threatening cat allergy, please take this warning into account.


Performer Safety & Health Warnings

Performing in a fursuit is a physically demanding activity. Please keep the following safety points in mind:

  • Heat Retention: Fursuits retain extreme heat. Always stay hydrated, take frequent breaks, and use cooling vests or integrated head fans when necessary.
  • Limited Vision & Hearing: Fursuit heads naturally reduce your field of vision (creating blind spots) and muffle ambient sounds. We highly recommend performing with a handler in crowded spaces.

Our Location

The studio is located in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.

Finished fursuits and parts can be shipped worldwide via mail/postal and courier services. Alternatively, orders can be picked up in person at the studio or hand-delivered during major furry conventions (such as Brasil FurFest).
