Anyone help? I'm armed with needle and thread ...

OK - I've decided for Christmas i'm going to make the dogs a new coat each

we have hand-made ones at the mo which my auntie made, although not the best fitting. You're probably thinking *why doesn't she just buy them* but with 8 dogs it's going to work out costly!!

I've got all the materials ... and i'm going by these sizings (bottom of the page)

Anyone got a springer spangle coat handy? Are the sizings similar?

Thankies

It's funny you should ask that....

Give me a second and I will measure Otto's and the mutt himself for comparision.

Ok dok!

Otto is, (in inches)
Collar to Tail Base - 21
Height - 20
Rib Depth - 10

His rug is, (in inches)
Collar to Tail Base - 21.5
Depth - 12
Overall Length - 25.5
Depth Under Neck - 5.5

So yes, the measurements are about the same.

Oh, and Otto's rug only cost £6

The Aerborn Factory used ot be near my Parent's house, so we got them in the Factory Sale. All my Parent's dogs have them, my Mum stocked up on them last time as the factory shut down, unfortunately they are all cocker sized!

What a shame your mum needs all of the Cocker ones .......


I am impressed with the OP for making one herself. I am far too lazy for that!
