New LJ account, but ages ago I posted previews for my monster fursuit Happy, and then about the poor quality of the Mongolian Shag I used for his arms and legs, and was going to be for the mane. Well, I had to postpone work for him for a long time, because the Mongolian from fabric.com was so bad it fell apart on the costume before I ever got to wear it. I tried it on once, and it wasn't even finished, and already the backing of that fur is deteriorating and showing holes. Bleh.
Anyway, Happy needs long, puffy fur for his mane, and the chest and arms and leg ends, and I found out about Flokati Shag. It sounds perfect. Buuut only one website seems to carry it, and it's fursuitsupplies, which is not only still backed up from Black Friday, but is out of stock and doesn't have any estimate for when they'll be restocking it, if ever. Does anyone know where I could get a suitable substitute within the same price range? Fursuitsupplies' Flokati has a 4 inch pile and is $32.99 a yard, and it must be white.
