Designed for the Vizsla

The Vizsla collection

Six pieces drawn for a lean, balanced dog with nothing to hide behind. The Hungarian countryside, in cool colors against a golden coat: a baroque palace at blue hour, the Great Plain in frost, a summer morning on Lake Balaton, the Tokaj vineyards. Every piece is cut to one dog from three measurements.

Couture · Wool broadcloth · €460

A frogged broadcloth jacket with a short cape stitched flat to one shoulder, a silk shirt and a flat silk cord across the chest.

Hortobágy

Couture · Felted wool · €440

Essentials

Single pieces, the ones worn most days.

Sopron

Essentials · Twill and flannel · €190

A reversible coat, cotton twill on one face and brushed flannel on the other, bound at every edge.

The everyday coat, town side or field side out. With no undercoat, whichever face is inside lies next to the skin, so both faces are finished smooth.

Cut to the croup with a curved hem, a narrow flat collar
Plain toggles on cord loops at the side, working either way out

Tokaj

Essentials · Brushed flannel · €150

A shirt-jacket in brushed wool-cotton flannel with a windowpane check and a curved shirt-tail hem.

The one check in the collection, which reads cleanly because nothing on a solid golden coat competes with it.

Brushed wool-cotton flannel with a windowpane check
One-piece shirt collar lying flat, two flap pockets on the sides
Plain snaps along the side, a curved shirt-tail hem at the croup

Mátra

Essentials · Lambswool · €210

A lambswool sweater with saddle shoulders, a crew neck and a ribbed hem.

Knitted with saddle shoulders, so the armhole sits back and clear of the long, reaching stride.

Lambswool knitted with saddle shoulders, a strip running along the top of each shoulder into the neck
Crew neck at the base of the neck, a ribbed hem ending behind the ribs
Opens along the back with flat snaps

Why it fits a Vizsla

The cut

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

Balanced: The standards describe a medium, lean dog a little longer than tall, neither long and low nor tall and leggy. The pieces are mid-length: the back panel runs to the croup and stops there.
A chest carried back: The chest is deep, reaching the elbows, with the breastbone reaching as far back as possible and the last ribs carried well back. The chest panel runs to the last rib, and the belly strap sits just behind it, on the slight tuck-up.
A clean neck: The neck is of medium length, arched and without dewlap, with tight skin at the throat. It can carry a low stand collar, so the collars follow the neck as it broadens into the shoulders and sit at its base, below the long ears.
Long shoulders, a long stride: The shoulders are long, sloping and flat, and the trot far reaching. Armholes are cut high and set back, nothing crosses the front of the shoulder, and the sweater is knitted with saddle shoulders.
Muscle: The AKC standard never penalizes a brawny or sinewy dog, so the pieces carry ease over the shoulders and thighs rather than being cut skin-tight to a show-lean dog.
One short coat: The coat is short and dense with no undercoat, and the skin fits tightly, so linings are smooth and seams are bound flat on the inside. Every back hem ends at the croup in a curve that clears the tail set, docked or natural.

Neck: Around the base of the neck, where it broadens into the shoulders. The low collars here start from this line.
Chest: Around the deepest part of the chest, just behind the front legs. On a Vizsla the ribs are carried well back, and so is the chest panel.
Back: From the base of the neck to the base of the tail, docked or natural. The pieces end at the croup.

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

Made to be worn

Every piece fastens at the side or along the back, so nothing goes over the head.

Colors for the coat

Deep russet gold: Petrol, slate blue, bottle green, navy, lilac, cream
Lighter sandy gold: Navy, petrol, bottle green, aubergine, slate blue
The lighter saddle over the neck and shoulders: A collar a full step darker or cooler than the saddle
A small white patch on the chest: A colored neckline, or a pale one that sits above the patch

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.

Deep russet gold: Disappears in rust, copper, cognac, terracotta, brick, tan leather
Lighter sandy gold: Disappears in camel, sand, oat, mustard, gold; cream and lilac are too close to read
The lighter saddle over the neck and shoulders: Disappears in a collar in camel, sand or any tone near the saddle
A small white patch on the chest: Disappears in ivory or white lace, knit or silk lying on the patch

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 along the back, so nothing goes over the head. Collars lie flat or sit low at the base of the neck, below the long ears, and nothing is tied at the throat. Sleeves stop at the elbow, hems end behind the ribs or at the croup, and the legs and the tail stay free. With no undercoat, every face that touches the coat is finished smooth.
