I have a Lucario fursuit I bought two years ago (he was already a few years old at the time and in need of repairs).
He needs a good cleaning but this is really difficult because of his shape. Anyways, I'm cutting the suit apart to make it fit me. (I'm working on the torso now and it looks great after a good wash)
Anyways, I want to alter it so it's easier to clean. Here's a few pics:

With the new head and some needed cleaning:

Anyways, there is tons of padding in his thighs. What should I do to make it easier to clean? (I was thinking of making the fur detachable from the foam so I can toss it in the washer) So maybe a zipper down the side of the costume?
I'm also going to re-pad and fur the legs.
I got rid of those old bleh feet because I'm going to make sock paws to fit his design better.
The torso is going to become skin-tight.
The black belt is going to shorten up as well.
Arms are going to be thinned (padding has already been removed).
Paws are going to be re-made and much smaller.
Tail is going to be removed and gutted to add support (and something to make it stay in place, along with a zipper to remove stuffing if needed).
I furred the head at a con so it needs a few repairs, I'll get stuff for it this weekend.
Any other ideas on how to make it easier to maintain? Mainly the foam in the legs.
Edit: Ignore typo in name. XP
