Undersuits

From: Noble A-Wolf
i was wondering where to purchase a good cotton or lycra body-suit, so i can build foam up for muscles, i've looked in a couple stores and some places on the internet but have had no luck. can some furry help me out?

Lots of good responses, summarized here;
o Bodywear such as catsuits, unitards, leotards/tights (Bodywear)
o local and mailorder
o tshirts and shorts (tshirts can be changed when soaked)
o pajamas

The best (and only) place that I have ever ordered from was NY Dancewear… If I remember, Master Costumer Lance Ikegawa had suggested them as a source for unitards.

I ordered them both footed and with turtle neck collars.

I can honestly say that this is the *MOST COMFORTABLE* clothing I have ever worn under a costume. You don't have to worry about t-shirts bunching up, or shorts, ridding up, down, etc. And, since they are footed, you don't have to worry about wearing socks either.

The wife also agrees when she is wearing her costume.

The only downside is that as a 6'6“ guy, with a bit of a macho attitude, and not exactly a stealth frame,(Spandexy materials just don't do nice things to large frames…) its hard at times to change into costume when other people are around.

There's simply enough questions when I put the mascot on, little own trying to explain why I wear “tights” underneath.

I don't find the fur binds as much, and, certainly the seems are a lot less abrasive running over your body.

The night that I proposed to the wife at centre ice, I didn't even think about the other guys going back to my changing room after I proposed, so, it took a bit of creative undressing, to keep it concealed. (top of dog suit off, Sweat shirt on, bottom of dog suit off, jeans on!)

I think it has been the recommendation of the list to stay with Cotton, as it will wick moisture away from your body, and is easy to clean, and, relatively cool.

It would also pay to order a spare unitard, as, they can be worn as a liner under your other suits. If you get a chance to perform as a mascot, in other suits, its also nice and probably a lot more hygenic because you have a completely liner between your body and the suit. Who knows how they maintain the suit, and, who had what that was in it before.
