Size Guide

Made-to-order items can't be exchanged for size, so a minute with a measuring tape now saves a sad sweater later. Here's everything you need for you and your dog.

Human crewneck sweatshirts (Gildan 18000 Heavy Blend™)

Unisex sizing. This is a classic, regular fit. Size up for a relaxed, cozy, oversized look, which is the ugly-sweater-party vibe.

5XL 34" / 86.4 cm 34" / 86.4 cm 40.5" / 102.9 cm

Measurements are of the garment, not the body, and may vary by up to about 1.5" (3.8 cm). Fabric: 50% cotton / 50% polyester. Care: machine wash cold, tumble dry low.

How to measure (human)

The easiest way is to compare against a sweatshirt you already love:

  1. Body width: Lay the sweatshirt flat and measure straight across the chest, about 1" below the armpits, from side seam to side seam.
  2. Body length: Measure from the highest point of the shoulder (where it meets the collar) straight down to the bottom hem.
  3. Sleeve length: Measure from the center back of the collar, across the shoulder, and down to the end of the cuff.

Pick the size whose numbers are closest to (or slightly larger than) your favorite sweatshirt.

Dog bandanas (clip-on style)

Our bandanas slide onto an adjustable, removable black collar that clips around your dog's neck. 100% polyester. Choose by neck size (the collar's adjustable range).

Size Fits neck (collar range) Bandana height Bandana width
S 7.8–11.8" / 19.8–30.0 cm 4.1" / 10.5 cm 6.9" / 17.6 cm
M 10.2–17.3" / 25.9–43.9 cm 5.5" / 14.0 cm 9.1" / 23.2 cm
XL 14.6–23.6" / 37.1–59.9 cm 9.0" / 22.9 cm 14.5" / 36.8 cm

Bandanas come in S, M and XL. If your dog's neck falls in two ranges, pick the larger size for a bigger bandana or the smaller size if the collar needs to be snug.

Pet hoodies

Cozy pullover hoodie with ribbed sleeves and hem, adjustable back-leg straps and a harness slit. 95% cotton fleece-back jersey. Choose by chest size first, then check neck and back length.

Size Chest (around) Neck (around) Back length
XS 15.0–15.7" / 38–40 cm 10.6–11.4" / 27–29 cm 9.8" / 25 cm
S 17.3–18.1" / 44–46 cm 11.8–12.6" / 30–32 cm 11.8" / 30 cm
M 20.1–20.9" / 51–53 cm 13.0–13.8" / 33–35 cm 13.8" / 35 cm
L 22.0–22.8" / 56–58 cm 14.2–15.0" / 36–38 cm 15.7" / 40 cm
XL 24.0–24.8" / 61–63 cm 15.4–16.1" / 39–41 cm 17.7" / 45 cm
2XL 26.8–27.6" / 68–70 cm 16.1–16.9" / 41–43 cm 19.7" / 50 cm

If your dog is between sizes, size up. Pet hoodie sizes don't go above 2XL (chest about 27.6"), so large breeds will be happier in a bandana.

How to measure your dog

Use a soft tape measure (or a piece of string and a ruler) while your dog is standing. Treats help. Bribery is encouraged.

  1. Neck: Measure around the base of the neck, where a collar normally sits. Leave room for two fingers under the tape.
  2. Chest: Measure around the widest part of the rib cage, just behind the front legs. Keep it snug but not tight.
  3. Back length: Measure from the base of the neck (where the collar sits) along the spine to the base of the tail.

Breed quick-pick (approximate!)

Every dog is built differently, so this is only a starting point. Please measure your dog. Breed ranges are typical adult measurements from published breed size charts, not guarantees.

Breed Typical neck Typical chest Typical back length Bandana Pet hoodie
Chihuahua 9.8–12.6" 11.8–13.8" 7.9–11.8" S (M for bigger necks) XS, but it may be roomy on very small chis
Dachshund (standard) 11.8–15.7" 15.7–17.7" 11.8–17.7" M XS–S by chest. Long backs mean the hoodie sits a bit shorter
French Bulldog 11.8–15.7" 19.7–23.6" 11.8–17.7" M (XL for necks over 17") M–L by chest. Deep-chested Frenchies may need XL
Golden Retriever 17.7–20.9" 33.5–37.4" 21.7–25.6" XL Not recommended: most adult goldens are larger than our 2XL
