18 lakh spent by Japanese man for realistic wolf costume
text_fieldsTokyo: A Japanese man changed his appearance so that he resembled a real wolf standing on hind legs. His highly customised suit cost him 3,000,000 yen (about Rs 18.5 lakhs) and was made by a business called Zeppet.
The client, who wished to remain anonymous, stated, "Because of my love for animals since childhood and some realistic animal suits appearing on TV, I dreamed of 'being one someday'."
Visiting the studio several times for fittings and measurements, the customers added, "We checked images of real wolves to discuss the smallest details until we incorporated many features in the specifications."
The canine outfit was completed by the company in fifty days. The man commented that he looked like he had imagined, impressed with the outcome. He said, "At the final fitting, I was amazed at my transformed self in the mirror. It was a moment when my dream came true. My order to 'look like a real wolf walking on hind legs' was difficult, but the complete suit looked exactly like what I imagined", NDTV reported.
The man said, "Not only did the specs perfectly cover all of my preferences, but the ventilation slit for the wearer's comfort and the devices that let the wearer put it on without help showed me that the designers paid close attention to the wearer's comfort."
This is not the first canine-themed outfit that Zeppet has created. A man by the name of Toco earlier transformed into a dog. A one-of-a-kind furry suit cost him 12 lakhs.
