Inside Layer Fabrics
The standard inner layer fabric is a 200 weight polar fleece by the same mill that makes PolarTec® - four times more wind resistant than standard polar fleece and super warm. This is a nice, thick fleece the equivalent of a mid-weight sweater - not a flimsy fleece.

collar optionCollar/Turtleneck Options
The standard collar is a double fleece turtleneck collar that can be folded up over the ears or down under them. Since every coat is made to order, you can ask for a longer or shorter turtleneck to suit your dog's proportions.

Pups really appreciate the warm protection for their vulnerable ears. You may choose not to include the large collar, and to have a simple foldback collar instead (see picture below). Some customers have remarked that it's a bit of trouble pulling the heavy collar over the head - but it's worth it. However, if quick on-and-off is very important to you, then the turnback collar might be a better choice.

Tummy Warmer Options
The standard coat includes a chest/tummy warmer that fastens over the back with Velcro. You may also choose only a narrow band that velcros around the waist (shown in the picture). Male dogs sometimes do better with just the band.

Options - band only, no tummy warmer

Leash/Harness Openings
You may choose from the following:

  • Leash opening only
  • Harness opening only - add $5
  • Both leash AND harness openings - add $5
