Aldeburgh
A fitted melton coat with a curled wool collar and cuffs, satin piping and an ivory calf chest strap.
€400 Cut to your dog, cloth included
The ensemble
- Fitted wool melton coat, cut deep at the chest and sharply up behind the ribs, ending at the top of the croup, two covered buttons at the side
- Wide collar lying flat and open on the shoulders like a shawl, never standing up the neck, and turned-back cuffs on sleeves ending at the elbow, both in curled wool with a tight, glossy curl
- Fine silk-satin piping in the coat's color along the front edge and the hem
- Slim ivory calf chest strap with a small silver buckle
You approve the three measurements before anything is cut.
How it is fitted
It is cut to three measurements: neck, chest and back. You approve all three before anything is cut. After you commission, you take them at home with a sheet of paper, and we show you the numbers. How it is measured
The promise
If a finished measurement is more than 2 cm off the numbers you approved, or the piece gapes or pulls, we remake it once, free, and you send nothing back. Because it is cut to one dog, it cannot be returned.
How it goes on
Every piece fastens at the side or under the chest, and the knits open along the back, so nothing goes over the head. Collars lie flat on the arch of the neck or roll softly at its base, and nothing sits at the throat. Sleeves stop at the elbow, and the belly band closes behind the ribs, so the long legs and the tail stay free.
Shown on
Shown in ink with a dove-gray curl on a fawn Whippet, the brick terrace of a converted malt house above the reed beds at dusk, light from tall windows. Claret with a dove-gray curl, for blue and black coats. Cream with an ink curl, for brindle. The pattern is redrawn for your dog's shape.
