Shirts for Dogs

Saxon's got a couple of coats and sweaters, but I was thinking of getting him a shirt or two, as well. Problem is his measurements are so different from the shirts available! Apparently he is an awkward shape or something!

Saxon's Stats:
Meat Head: 18"
Neck: 14"
Chest: 23"
Stomach/Tuck: 15.5"
Height at Shoulders: 15.5"
Length from neck to tail: 18"
Weight: 38lbs



Cafepress T-Shirt Sizes:
Size...Length...Neck.......Sleeve....Chest.......Weight
S......10".......4"............4"..........7.25".......up to 10 lbs.
M......12".......4.75".......4"..........8.25"........12-25 lbs.
L.......15.5"....7.75"......5.5".......9.25"........26-40 lbs.
XL......17.5"....8.75"......6.5".......11.5"........41-60 lbs.
XXL....20"......9.5"........7.5".......12.75"......61-80 lbs.

It's funny, I help people pick out the right size coat for their dog all day at PDog, but without the article of clothing in front of me, I have no idea which size to get for Saxon! What size would you go with?

Here are a couple of shirts I would like for Saxon:

"It's not my fault I'm awkward!"

I have trouble getting things to fit Demps. He has a hoodie, but that was made to measure.

I recently bought a coat for him (22" long), but the sides weren't deep enough, so I bought another one which is 28" long so that the chest fits as he has a 36" chest!

It's always hard to tell but I would guess XL. Are there shirts with similiar sizing yuo could try on him at work?

We don't sell shirts, just sweaters and coats and the sizing is different from the shirts on Cafepress. I should probably go with an XL and just hem it or something.

We always buy bigger and tailor it ourselves to fit.

yes that what I would do, get one larger and alter better than getting one thats too small. dont forget the pics

..yah a Saxon fashion parade...can't wait !!

I ordered this one: http://www.cafepress.com/thankdog.107755713 I have to wait until the 14th to get it. SOOO impatient about these things!

now that's a good idea

wow Catstina, loving that new shirt you ordered, Saxon will look even more adorable .. if that is possible !

What interesting measurements Saxon has! He has a very old school traditional look to him.
I find it hard to get jumpers/t-shirts for Romeo because i have to get the biggest size because of his chest, but because they're for big dogs they're often too long and i have to tuck it up so he can pee.
Comparing his measurements Romeo has a 19inch head and neck, 26 inch chest, is 14 inch to the shoulder and weighs close to 51 pounds
Ebay is a good place to get dog jumpers and hoodies, theres useally a handful in the bigger sizes and most of them ship worldwide.

any tips on where to buy shirts for my girls at resonalble prices Sadie has to wear one under her harness and a dog shirt would fit better than the one we have for her which is one of my wifes
