Hurtta Casual Quilted Overall

I bought two size 14L for my two Chinese Crested Dogs. This outfit fits perfectly on the long and lanky Powderpuff, keeps him warm enough on cool fall days, and the length of the legs is great to keep his white fur clean. Additionally he runs and plays with ease. The fit of this is excellent on the Chinese Crested Shape. However my shorter slightly smaller dog would have been better in a 13 if odd sizes were available. I will have it altered to fit. While the 2 inch size differences might not be much on mid-size or large dogs, the 2 inch jumps in sizing are significant for small dogs. That noted. I am always impressed with the quality of Hurtta products and really appreciate how the products are produced to fit breed sizings.

First of all, like everything fit is function. I have to confess when I ordered this my whippet was still growing so I ordered what I anticipated her size to be. I had ordered other Hurtta products like the Extreme Warmer and Hurtta Ultimate Warmer and both times I had to go a size smaller than she measured (18 instead of 20). I purchased 20L as it was designated to be the narrower fit for hounds. I would be interested to know how a size 18 would have fit. Regardless, a family member is adept at sewing and moved the zipper over and now the fit is perfect. (I should mention my pup does measure 20 inches down the back). Living in Canada I needed something to cut the windchill. I love using it on milder days by itself or throwing her wool sweater underneath when its cold. Most importantly she can run and play in the overalls. I am quite pleased and would recommend them to anyone owning a whippet or similar slim breed. Just measure correctly.
