The Verticalizer!

Master Tailer — Wed, 30 Oct 2024 15:18:46 +0000

We think the best way to wear your MiTail is just how it comes. Slide it in to the D-Clip, and off you go. Straight out, and gentle curve up.

But some Tailers prefer their tails to hang straight down, casual style!

And so for you, we have made *drum roll* The Verticalizer.

Slide your MiTail in to one side of The Verticalizer, and attach it to the D-Clip in the usual way.

Use your Verticalizer and your MiTail is now as vertical as Nelsons Column.

PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS NOT A TAIL! This is a part to make your MiTail or Mini become more vertical when worn!

Detangle Brush

Master Tailer — Sun, 16 Jun 2024 07:14:43 +0000

We spend literally hours every day, brushing our tails and ears, ready for Tailers to receive them. And so we know a thing or two about brushes. We have tested many many different shapes, and finally setlled on this design. Comfortable to hold for extended periods, and with bristles spaced at a good distance, this is the brush we use in our studio every day. This is a “Detangle” style brush, great for keeping your tail or ears in lovely shape.

Note! Some fibres will always come off your tail or ears. Just dont over brush them.
