I don't know anything about fursuit manufacturing, so maybe someone familiar with it can help me out: do they even make 8XL ones that would fit this absolute unit of a lardy lad?
I'm gonna powerlevel a bit and admit I have some familiarity with fursuiting and we'll leave it at that. If Lou wanted to have a fursuit made, it's technically feasible but very unlikely for multiple reasons:
-
Price: Every suit is custom-made, and even the cheapest makers are still going to run a minimum of $1500-2000 for a very basic "partial" suit (which is usually just the head, arms/hands, and a tail). The head is usually the most expensive part of most suits. Most fursuit makers generally ask you to pay for most of the suit upfront, though some makers will agree to payment plans. Lou would have to grift a lot of fucking money right off the back to pay for it, followed by Lou grifting more money to cover his monthly payments. Plus, there's no way in hell Lou's grifting would be as effective if people knew he had the money to afford a fucking fursuit.
-
Time: fursuits are usually made by hand, and the majority of makers are hobbyists who aren't trained professionals and do these in their free time, thus some makers have a tendency to build up huge backlogs. Most suits will take a few weeks (but more realistically a few months at the bare minimum). Considering Lou lacks any sort of patience and bitches at Grubhub because his McDonalds was a whopping 5 minutes late, I feel like his head would explode if he found out his suit got delayed in any capacity.
-
Dimensions: Lou's fucking fat, so it goes without saying that his suit would have to be specially-measured to fit him. Head measurements generally don't vary too wildly from person to person; what some makers do is intentionally make the head too small, have the person try on the head, then trim and file down the inside as needed until it's a good fit. But that would require Lou having to get off his ass and travel. Or even worse, imagine the poor soul who would have to visit Lou to get his fitting done.
Hell, if Lou had the money, he could even have a bodysuit made (provided he's willing to pay extra to have it fit his XXXXL ass). Most suit makers get your measurements by having you make a "
duct-tape dummy", where you buy and wear a coverall suit, then have a friend or two cover every inch of you with duct tape, then ship it to the fursuit maker so they can make sure the suit will fit your body properly. I've seen some pretty fat fursuiters wearing full suits, so surprisingly it's actually possible to be done. Lou would have to convince someone (that's not his mom) help cover him in duct tape though.
-
Heat: Fursuits are really fucking hot (temperature-wise), most heads are made out of foam wrapped in fur and don't have good ventilation, and for the inexperienced, even wearing just a fursuit head in the middle of winter can be pretty rough after a few minutes. This is why most furry conventions have water coolers set up every 30 feet, because they don't want to have to deal with dumbasses who can't remember to drink water and roast to death. Anyways, considering Lou frequently complains it's too hot to make food and then orders more hot food for himself, I can't imagine him taking the proper precautions to stay cool (or at the very least, hydrate himself with anything other than soda).
-
Maintenance: most fursuiters ideally clean their suit after every big convention and/or orgy, and most suits require specialized cleaning to remove sweat/cum stains. Since you can't throw the suit in a washing machine, this usually requires very delicate hand-cleaning. To give a reference point, a suiter I'm familiar with usually spends about 2 hours hand-cleaning their suit with a carpet shampooer designed for pet stains. It's very time-consuming, but their suit is impressively clean and bright in spite of its age. There's no fucking way I'd see Lou taking the necessary time to clean his. Best case, his suit would constantly smell like pizza grease. Worst case, it'd look like
Growly's nasty-ass fursuit in only a few months.

Hygiene: if you've read
the thread on Gabriel Sickel/KhordKitty, he would regularly get tons of complaints about his odor. He'd spend a good chunk of conventions worrying about how to not smell when the answer was because he didn't shower. No matter how clean your suit is, your own personal body odor doesn't vanish without cleaning yourself. Anyways, Lou is fat, most likely perpetually hot and sweaty. I'll let you form your own conclusions on how he'd probably smell.
In summary, Lou is very fat and I would not have sex with him. And if he hypothetically spent the money on a fursuit, I'm 99% sure it would become a biohazard in less than a week.
