This represents the epitome of the tailoring art - a
greyhound tuxedo. You can see that it is a perfect fit, including
cufflinks, bowtie, and cummerbund. This is not a costume, but a real
tuxedo. It is the very best that can be made - satin lapels
highlight the short jacket, closed by two fine silvered buttons. These are
available as custom order only.
Bottom picture is on the hanger (red satin bowtie is included, it just did not hang right on the hanger - it needed a dog neck to keep it perky!). $99 (plus shipping) |

"Space" dog coat made from the finest futuristic
material. Although this may seem odd, this is some of the strongest
and finest material around. It is truly water resistant and heavily
lined to provide the greatest warmth for your greyhound. With the
stretch collar and velcro strap, you can put this coat on your dog in
about five seconds! Oh, if only children were so easy... (note: this
jacket is not machine-washable)
Price is $40 (plus shipping) |

Vinyl cover with fleece lining and collar.
The coat is velcro strapped for ease of closure. The collar readily
stretches to simplify putting it over your grey's head. There is a
gap between the collar and coat so the leash does not interfere with
keeping your dog warm and dry. An example of vinyl, fleece-lined coats are shown to the left. Price is $30. At the bottom, you see an addition to this line of coats - your Red, White, and Blue, all American dog can sport his/her colors and stay warm & dry. This vinyl is not as sturdy as the ones above and this vinyl is purchased self-lined (not fleece, but light cotton), so the cost is a little less at only $25 each. |

A hooded windbreaker - these are unlined, but they
have great overhang for your grey and they have a hood that will keep your
best friend's ears warm and dry. There is a collar loop which
prevents the hood from slipping down. Also note, there is reflective
tape added for additional safety.
Price is only $25 (and these can be lined if you desire, at an additional cost). |

To the left is an example of a brushed rip-stop
(windbreaker) with fleece lining. Look at the next row below for
samples of available colors. Lining colors can be
different as to what you want and I can find. Note the reflective strip on both
sides and near the dog's tail. This is as nice as any Great North
jacket you can buy for yourself.
This can have the fleece cowl or a rip-stop hood, your choice. Price is $35. |
![]() Our Monty really does not like going out in the rain or cold... |
The newest addition to what I produce is the rip-stop
with fleece lining jackets.
These are top of the line for the greyhound winter wear. They are machine wash and dry beautifully, are rain and snow resistant and are nice and warm. They can be made in any combination of rip-stop colors and fleece colors for the lining. Price is $45. These can also be lined with terry cloth like the cool-down jackets for warmer climates. Price is $40. |

Sample accessories. These hats are a perfect fit for
any greyhound head. Besides the ear loops, they have a velcro
chinstrap to hold the hat securely on your dog's head. Of course,
vigorous shaking or rubbing along a wall will pull the cap down - haven't
we all seen this?
Hats and scarves in any style, design, or pattern (favorite sport team) can be made in no time flat. Contact me to order. $5 per hat, save on multiple orders! |

Terry-cloth cool-down jackets. Perfect for the just
worked dog and also for after the bath or rainstorm. They come in
pastels as shown: peach, yellow, pink, lavender, green, and blue.
$25 each (plus shipping) |
![]() Monty fit the role of "clown" exceptionally well. You only get a hint at the purple satin on the far side of this outfit. It is a very nice half-half creation. ![]() Teddy is a happy California Grey who is working on being a supermodel (or clown)! ![]() Monty was not that fond of being a cow. ![]() He enjoyed his role of Santa Claus. Unfortunately the beard is artificial as he was completely unable to grow one of his own (although the hair is white under his chin). ![]() And a ballerina costume, custom-made for a little girl greyhound in Allentown. It was too small for our Monty to model. |
Other custom-made costumes are shown to the left. Prices range from $25 (for the cow costume, complete with cow ears and tail) to $75 (satin clown outfit with gold trim, complete with durable hat, Medieval War Horse (not shown). |

Teddy from California in a custom-made t-shirt. The
pattern is hard to see, but those are teddy bears...
T-shirts are all custom made to precisely fit your dog with a material pattern of your choosing (and availability). T-shirts run from $15 to $25 depending on the cost of the material. |

waist only. All measurements are needed for the tuxedo or other
