Quite an illuminating page, don'tcha think? It's really nice how Amber addresses this when most stories I've seen gloss over it. Then again, most other people don't have characters who normally come from non-clothes-friendly places.

Uh...Matilda's got some nice expressions and Blondie looks hawt. *runs*

[Kenji]

Those tail clips make me think of, like, a bra for your butt...

[Zedd]

Not I mind the idea hidding my tail..But its not brushy enough like Kenjis

[Kasarn]

If you get a cheap zipper, the zip just ends up getting stuck in the fabric instead

This just reinforces my conviction that Amber is a detail Nazi.

How so? Most furry forums have at least one discussion on how pants work. It's just one of those weird but interesting topics that come up in the furry fandom.

[bill]

Wow, really? I learned something new!

[Kenji]

Wow, really? I learned something new!

Not only that but your knowledge of pants has increased by 2!

[bill]

I'm sure that'll help me defeat that boss.

[Zedd]

Hope Amber talks about fire retardent clothes as well...Sides we have those fire elements out there you know

[Kasarn]

I'm sure that'll help me defeat that boss.

Don't be silly. You need to know about the hats first

[thegayhare]

Course those velcro ones can be a pain too if your in a hurry and they get caught in your fur.

[Aurawyn]

Cute, Hope she dose shirts and wings

[Rafe]

You noticed that, huh?  If you've ever had a conversation with her, you'll see that her mind for details is really something to see in action.  It's amazing the amount of stuff she has worked out in her head for DMFA.  THIS is the real Amber, and we're damned lucky that she uses her powers of obsessive detailing for good instead of evil (well, mostly).

You know, Velcro was actually designed to mimic the Burdock plant, which had evolved to attach itself to fur.

It's just been confirmed: Pants are awesome. 

[Rythak]

It's just been confirmed: Pants are awesome. 

I strongly disagree.

[Cogidubnus]

It's just been confirmed: Pants are awesome. 

Indeed. Completely unlike uppity, backtalking and rather breezy shorts.

Although, in complete honesty, I prefer certain kinds of skirts better.

[Rythak]

If only it was ok for guys to wear skirts... Oh yeah, that would be the life.

I don't see what you mean. Are you saying it's not?

I meant in public m8. Last time I wore a skirt in public it was because. . . . . nevermind id rather not talk about it

No way, that's what kilts are for.  Real men wear kilts, not pink.™

Ya just dont get that kinda breeze wearin pants.  Ahhhhhhhhhhhh thats nice.

[Roureem Egas]

I can't believe I only just now remembered the powderpuff games at high school. It was funny seeing guys in cheerleader outfits, and some with wigs and heavy make-up.

Speaking of which, one of my old friends amended that statement Haz. They added the make-up part to it.

my hakama didn't have legs.  I had to wear shorts under it to keep from flashing the audience!

Having experience with velcro+my hair, I don't believe that velcro would actually cause a lot of problems with fur, as fur tends to be fairly short and straight, and only the strands which were actively being shed would be released.  Zippers, on the other hand, are evil.

Not in DMFA context, but for other reasons, I imagined most races with tails would buy pants where the hem in the back is actually pop-off, velcro, which would allow for a varying range of tail sizes to be accomodated by the same pair of pants.

For lycanthropes such as who I shall be dealing with, I'm thinking most pants are either sagged, or have an elastic flap which lets the tail out, and then hides the hole when it's gone.  Were-folk prefer to be incognito.

I guess you're a lot less bothered by velcro than I am then. I found zippers less evil than velcro, since the mere memory of hearing velcro rip really grates on my nerves. Still, that's a thought that could be looked into.

[Fuyudenki]

Oh my, now I'm wondering what Velcro did to you when you were younger to give you such a paranoia.  As far as catching, velcro behaves more like a comb when applied to hair or fur, and the gripping aspect is due largely to the "loop" side being very literally named.

More recently, I've been seeing velcro that's shaped neither as hook nor loop, but as lots and lots of tiny little mushrooms, which intermesh quite well with themselves or with a modified type of 'loop' side.

As far as zippers and fur go, I've actually seen what a poorly-aimed zipper can do to a hamster's fur coat, and my brother's hamster had a bald spot on her hip for a couple of weeks because of it.  I've seen zippers get bound up so many times that I've actually become fairly adept at fixing them.

[Fex]

hopefully we get underwear next  gaaaaaah *drools*

[xHaZxMaTx]

Erm, what about skirts?  Would there still be a hole for a tail, or would the tail just stay under the skirt, or what?
