No two Frankie Jester sweaters are alike. Made for Whippets from rescued Hound-Tees fabric offcuts, each one combines one-of-a-kind colour panels using the Frankie philosophy: no hound or fabric scrap left behind. Named after a foster hound rescued by Gumtree Greys, it brings second-chance style to a heavyweight winter layer.

How to Measure:

Chest

Measure your hound around their chest under the front legs. Do this snugly as this is a fitted garment and will stretch to fit your hound neatly.

Length

Measure length from the crook of their neck with their head raised to the start of the tail. Imagine there is an invisible line at their backside and measure to that point.

Tees are made in stretch fabrics so they fit snug. Sweater styles are designed to be a looser fit for layering.

Fitting Tips

Fit based on your doggos chest measurement. If your doggo is bordering on two sizes, size up.

Please note:  Sweaters are approximately  2 in / 5 cm larger in the chest. Fleece and sweater styles are designed to be worn looser or over a cotton spandex tee. 

Warmth Factor 1: Sleeveless Tees
A light, breathable layer for slight chills or sun protection. Perfect for hounds who dislike sleeves or for wearing under other gear.

Warmth Factor 2: Long Sleeve Tees
Offers more coverage for cooler days. A lightweight and cosy choice for lounging or casual walks.

Warmth Factor 3: Tweaters
The perfect in-between layer for transitioning seasons, made from midweight French terry cotton.

Warmth Factor 2.5 - 4: Long Johns
Full-body coverage for colder weather and overnight sleeping. Warmth varies as they're made from tee, tweater, or sweater fabric.

Warmth Factor 4: Sweaters
A cosy outer layer for cold days and outdoor adventures. Designed to fit perfectly over any other Hound-Tees style.

Warmth Factor 5: Winter Weight
Our warmest option. Heavyweight 340g fabric provides the ultimate defence against the cold.

Don't forget to accessorise!
Add a cute hound snood for extra warmth and style.

Love the Frankie jester!

We've got two, one for each of our pharaoh hounds. The stretchy and soft material is warm and fits perfectly. We get so many compliments on every walk!

Protects my boys bald bits. He carried on about putting his feet in the leg holes so I did a bit of alteration. Maybe something to consider for another fantastic product?

So unbearably cute...

...it hurts the eyes. This sweater (size: Whippet L) is a great fit on our 17 kg galgo. Now the only problem is we can't look at her without screaming for joy.

Great fit and quality as always. Love the personalisation options. Very helpful fixing up my order when I accidentally ordered the wrong size.

Will it fit?

Check the size before you add

One tape measure around the deepest part of the chest, just behind the front legs. Snug, not tight.

Chest is the number that matters

Deepest part, just behind the front legs. Length is a guide only.

Between sizes?

Tees and long sleeves: go down. Sweaters are roomier for layering: go up.

Good to know

Questions, answered

How do I put a Hound-Tee on?

Head first, then one front leg at a time. The neck stretches more than it looks. Thirty seconds and a treat, and most hounds stop noticing it's on.

Does my hound actually need one?

Sighthounds have thin coats, no body fat and skin that chafes. A tee takes the edge off cold mornings and sun, and stops the harness rubbing.

Can I get it altered?

Yes. Tick alterations above the add to cart button and tell us what you need. Allow up to 10 working days before it ships.

How do I wash it?

Cold machine wash, air dry. No dryer, no iron on the print.
