Whippet Jumpers and Sweatshirts

Whippets feel the cold easily, so a warm winter coat is essential. We recommend choosing a fleece-lined or insulated coat. A chest covering is especially beneficial during colder spells. · Sighthound Basic Plus Jacket – A great everyday winter coat with a chest covering, fleece lining and one layer of insulation. · Outdoor Warm Coat – A super cosy coat, featuring a chest covering, fleece lining, two layers of insulation and a long snood neck that can cover the ears. · Whippet Sherpa Fleece Lined Coat – A popular classic style. This coat does not include a chest covering but can be paired with a vest for very cold days.

We offer several raincoat options depending on whether you want warmth or just weather protection: · Whippet Raincoat – Cotton lined · Sighthound Basic Raincoat – Thin fleece lined · Sighthound Basic Raincoat LIGHT – Ultra-lightweight with a breathable mesh lining Choose based on whether your whippet needs insulation or simply protection from rain and wind.

This is hard to answer when my own sighthound has more coats than I do! We would at least recommend a good quality raincoat and a warm winter coat. These can be paired up with base layers for extra warmth when needed.

Whippet coats are designed specifically for sighthounds, accommodating their deep chests, curved spines and slim waists. This tailored fit allows full freedom of movement. Generic dog coats are often bulky or barrel-shaped, which can cause twisting, riding up, rubbing the front legs or restricting movement. Well-designed sighthound coats avoid these issues.

Yes, all of our coats are machine washable. Please note, like human coats, the more a coat is washed the more frequently it will need to be rewater proofed.

We’re happy to help. Please contact us with: · Back measurement (base of neck to base of tail) · Chest measurement (deepest part) · Your whippet’s weight

We have a wide range of sighthound coats including those suitable for lurchers. If your whippet cross has the typical sighthound shape (deep chest and slim waist), we are more than likely to have a good fit available. Please do get in touch if you would like help selecting a coat.

Yes. The Basic Raincoat LIGHT is super thin and lightweight with a breathable mesh lining, perfect for rain and wind protection without added warmth.

Measure your whippet standing naturally using a soft tape or string: · Back: Base of neck to base of tail · Chest: Around the deepest part of the chest Some coats also use weight as a sizing reference. Always check the individual product page.

Absolutely. Larger whippets (often called whoppits) may suit sizes such as M3 or L in our sighthound coats. Please contact us for sizing advice.

Yes. We stock sizes suitable for small whippets, whippet puppies, whiggies and Italian Greyhounds (e.g. S1, S2, S3, M or 13”, 15”). We’re happy to help with sizing.

Coats with a long snood neck include a collar hole for lead attachment. Coats with shorter necklines do not require one.

No, our whippet coats do not have a harness hole. Harness styles are not standard and the lead fixing can vary, this means there is no accurate place to put the hole. Wearing harnesses underneath can also affect the fit due to many harnesses having handles. Some customers put harnesses over the top of the coats particularly the more fitted styles such as the Soft Shell Jackets and Outdoor Jumpers. If you have an escape artist, you may need to consider if wearing a harness over the top of a coat/jacket would affect the harnesses fit.
