Seeking recommendations!

I'm in the market for a fursuit (at least a partial, head/tail/feet/hands; maybe a full suit depending on price).

Had conversations with two makers that have gone nowhere; one required a google account just to fill out a commission form (I don't use google products), the other wanted full payment for a spot in line with a 6+ mo wait before starting (I understand materials cost money and makers need some money in advance, but that felt fishy to me).

Not looking for anything too complex, but I have two requirements: lightest, most breatheable head I can get (my current head is 2-3" of foam and is insanely uncomfortable), and a head that actually fits (I have a large meat head, so a lot of premades are way too small).

Who have folks worked with in the past? Mostly interested in suggestions based on recent experience. "I/my friend worked with X last year and they're great!" is useful; "I read on a 15 year old forum post Y is good" is not.
