To start with the body, you'll need a pattern.  The Simplicity Costumes pattern #9807 is probably the most popular and readily available.  You can pad this suit to make it more muscular.  For general fursuiting help, check out: If you want to hide the zipper, look here for some hints. 

A Great Fursuiting page (check out Paws, Tail, and Ears)

Big Bad Wolf’s Fursuit Page  Another great site.  Check out Big Bad Woolf v2

Nic’s Fursuiting Page   A wealth of good tips.

There are a few ways you can construct a head.  If breathablity is your chief concern, you can construct the cowl as seen in the Simplicity pattern and the paint your face to look wolfish.  You could even wear the glue-on prosthesis to make it appear even better and still be able to breath, drink, eat, etc.  You can find a good prosthesis at:

Chamber of Horror The most common one I’ve found but more expensive.

Pretty much any good place that sells your common latex mask, will also sell prosthesis.  Add fangs, makeup and some facial hair and you’re good to go.

 

 

 

Another way would be to carve head out of foam.  Look here for some links on head carving.  This will probably be fully covered with fur a'la a mascot type costume.  A newspaper photo appears below of what this type might look like made to look a little more scary than your average mascot.

Here are some great sites dealing with head building:

You could take a ready-made latex Halloween mask and match the hair to your costume.  It may be necessary to take off the preexisting hair and gluing on hair left over from your suit for it to match.  For this reason, I recommend finding a mask that is hairless.  It will be less expensive and you can match the hair easier.  Don't worry if it has latex ribbing to look like hair, you can hot glue gun your hair to this.  Position the hair beforehand so you get an idea of what it will look like before you start to glue it down.  Make sure your mask is clean and dry before you start to glue so the hair and glue make a good bond.  This is a pretty good method, as you don't have to go through the pain of the facial features and such.  You can get ones that are ready to wear or some that might need some retrofitting.  It's all up to your tastes and budget.

You could pick up a Jason type hockey mask and build a face on it.  You could build up the face with clay, paper machè,h, or foam.  Cover it with liquid latex or fur for added effect.  Use the mouth hole to secure the face to the mask.  You can't be too sure that the glue will hold with normal use at a party.  This will also give you points to fasten wires into that will help stiffen the nose area so it is less likely to break.  Add some paint and you've got yourself a custom mask.  This mask would easily fit inside your cowl so you would have to worry about anything but the face.  It would be permanent and adjustable with the back strap.

 

 

If you want the really professional looking masks, you are going to have to put in some extra work.  These involve moveable jaws, latex faces, and hair.  Check out some sites at:
