Custom Fleece Peacoat for Greyhounds and Other Big Dogs

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 15:05:34 -0500

$45.00
Here's a great fleece coat for those early fall days. It is made of Polartec (TM) fleece and lined in wind-resistant Polartec Wind Pro (TM). The buttons are from vintage US Navy peacoats. And, the best part is the side pocket - the perfect place to store poop bags.

This coat is styled for Greyhounds, Great Danes, Dobermans, and other large breeds. The coat will be custom-made to your dog's measurements.

Like the coat but have a much smaller pup? Convo me for pricing and style options.

The coat is machine-washable. It is available in gray Polartec 200 recycled fleece, made from a yarn that is composed of 89% post consumer soda pop bottles, as well as eight other colors of the regular Polartec 200 fleece (see last photo; please note that plum is no longer available). You can select velcro or button closure. With a velcro closure, the buttons are decorative.

When ordering, please specify your dog's breed, sex, and the following measurements: body length from back of neck to base of tail, chest girth at the widest point, and neck girth.

Many thanks to the gorgeous greyhound Lil Bit and her mom Alexis for the first photo. Lily, my greyhound, is modeling the teal peacoat in the second photo.

Your dog can have one custom-made in his/her measurements. You can also choose:

Pendleton recommends dry cleaning the fabric, but I have successfully hand-washed it in cold water and then line-dried it.
