I got this tail from http://www.alikscosplay.com/ about 5 years ago and it's been modded endlessly since, first I put a grommet in it, then unstuffed and restuffed it to put a wire core in, the hanger I had on the end of it broke, and I made this one to replace it, it's a tooled leather band with a d-ring on it. The studs are more than decoration, they screws they mount on, go inside the tail and through a pair of leather washers to hold the whole thing securely together.
