Size & Fit
All Hund Apparel© garments are specifically designed to fit the body shapes of Sighthounds, specifically Italian Greyhounds, Whippets and Greyhounds.
Garments look best when they fit just a little on the snug side. Please consult the below guide carefully when choosing a size. The below illustrations will assist in guiding where on the body is best to measure.

Helpful Information
- If you do not have a tape measure, use a shoelace or piece of string to 'measure'. Then use the length of that lace/string against a straight ruler to determine the exact measurement! Always measure at least a couple of times just to be safe
- Jumper tip: we recommend starting off by focusing on the 'chest' measurement for the jumpers as a first step - the 'back' measurement is not as crucial. It is okay for the jumper to be a little short or a little long down the back as this is normal,
- Full suit tip: we recommend starting off by focusing on the ‘back’ measurement for the full suits as a first step – if your Sighthound does not measure within the length of the suit, they will not fit well into the suit and it may be uncomfortable when worn
Please note all of our garments are handmade, and so there may be some minor differences between final products. Once you've found the right size for your Sighthound, all purchases from then on should fit just as perfectly.
