Designed for the Standard Poodle

The Standard Poodle collection

Six pieces drawn for a square body and the clip it wears. Danish modernism by the sea: a gallery in a villa north of Copenhagen, a royal garden in frost, the long beach at the northern tip of Denmark, a ceramics studio on Bornholm. Every piece is cut to one dog from three measurements.

Why it fits a Standard Poodle

The cut

Drawn for the Standard Poodle's own shape, and cut to three measurements you take at home with a sheet of paper. You approve them before anything is cut.

The clip: The AKC standard recognizes four clips and the FCI its own set, including a Scandinavian clip. Short, even clips take close, tailored pieces; clips that leave a mane over the chest and forequarters need a piece that stands clear of it. Every dog is measured in the clip it keeps, and a change of clip is a new fitting.
A square dog: The AKC asks for a squarely built dog, its body about as long as it is tall, and the FCI for a short back. The back panels are short and square, never graded down from a long dog.
The chest: The chest is deep, reaching the elbow, and the FCI gives Standards a chest girth about 10 cm more than the height at the withers. Chest girth is one of our three measurements, so the fitting checks itself against the breed's own ratio. One strap behind the ribs is enough.
Neck and ears: The neck carries the head high, with the skin snug at the throat, and the long, feathered ears fall along the cheeks. Every collar sits at the base of the neck, below the ears, and nothing stands up into them.
A high tail: The tail is set on high and carried up. Every back hem stops before the tail set, with a shallow cutaway, so the tail and its pompon stay free.
A curly coat: The coat is curly and dense and springs back under the hand, so it lifts a garment off the body. The pieces are measured over it and lined in a smooth cloth, none closes with hook-and-loop, and nothing goes over the head.

Neck: Around the base of the neck, below the ears, in the clip your dog keeps.
Chest: Around the deepest part of the chest, just behind the front legs, over the coat. On a Standard it runs about 10 cm more than the height at the withers.
Back: From the base of the neck to the tail set. The pieces stop just before it, so the tail stays free.

The breed facts are from the FCI and AKC Poodle standards.

Made to be worn

Every piece opens along the back or closes under the chest, so nothing goes over the head.

Colors for the coat

Black: White, cobalt, red, soft yellow, camel
White or cream: Black, cobalt, red, clear blue, bottle green
Apricot or red: Black, cobalt, clear blue, bottle green
Brown or cafe-au-lait: White, soft yellow, pale blue, cobalt, red
Gray, silver or blue: Black, red, soft yellow, camel
Parti, brindle, tricolor, or black or brown with fawn markings: One strong solid: cobalt, bottle green, clear blue

A piece in the same tone as the fur disappears into it. Every look is cut in more than one color, chosen by this rule.

Black: Disappears in black, charcoal, navy, dark brown
White or cream: Disappears in white, ivory, cream, oat, stone, pale gray
Apricot or red: Disappears in apricot, camel, rust, orange, cognac, red
Brown or cafe-au-lait: Disappears in brown, tobacco, camel, taupe
Gray, silver or blue: Disappears in gray, silver, slate, cool pale blue, stone
Parti, brindle, tricolor, or black or brown with fawn markings: Disappears in busy patterns, and either of the dog's own colors

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 opens along the back or closes under the chest, so nothing goes over the head. Necklines sit at the base of the neck, below the ear fringe, and nothing rigid or tied sits at the throat. Sleeves stop at the elbow, hems end before the high tail, and each piece is cut for its clip, so a full coat is never pressed flat.
