I was going to ask the sizing question next… Those who actually HAVE a coat, what size did you get? I measured Tucker this morning and his girth is 24" and from neck to tail is 14". This means he's in the XS range on the site but I fear that since that is the uppermost limit of the XS range, that it might be snug. The next size is S, which is for 23"-30" girth and 18" long. Anyone know the size of thw one they have and what size their dog is? I was planning on getthing both the Overcoat and the Cloud Chaser and one wants these to fit when one is spending this much.

I am positive the XS will fit just fun, as an added bonus the straps that have the buckles are adjustable and elastic (sp?).
If you want you can go to http://www.ruffwear.com/store_finder;jsessionid=0a0002491f43071cdd6deea54adc867cf6fe7be50a23.e3eTaxmKbNaNe34Pa38Ta38Pch10 and see if there is a store near you and try on the jackets. I have noticed they are more exspeinsive in the store, me, I'm bad and will go somewhere to try it on and then buy it online :o
And like I mentioned before about my boxer, I had bought the large for him and it was WAY to big and his girth is 33" (right above the edge of measurment for a meduim) and it fits him like he was wearing a dress. Even though the length difference between the meduim and large is only 2 inches the jacket actually fit our neighbors Great Dane and still had adjustment room. So I gave them the large and went and got Reggie a medium.

I'm an idiot. I found a store that allegedly carries then that is MAYBE 2 miles from my house in Alexandria. Duh!
-
LOL, it's okay I meant to mention it in an earlier post but forgot. I just ordered one for Tiggy last night. Check to see if there are any other stores also, sometimes they might not have it in stock, or they might not carry the jackets, or better yet call first.
-
I'm back to NOT being an idiot. None of the stores near me carry them in the XS. So I ordered them anyway. I'll just send them back if they don't work for me. Got both the Cloud Chaser and the Overcoat II. Tuck is going to be STYLIN! (in 5-7 business days)…
-
You get them from Ruff Wear direct or sitstay? Just curious, I know sitstay as a pretty decent return policy (I've had to return something before)
-
I got them from SitStay. They were about $10 cheaper.
-
I'll let you know how mine fits Tiggy if you let me know how yours fits Tucker, especially the Cloud Chaser since I'm putting off buying that.You said he's 14 inches long? how tall is he?
Tiggy is 14 inches from base of neck to tail, and 14 inches from toes to shoulder, and his girth is 18 inches (at the best I could from many measurements, he was very wiggly for that part)

My 2 b's love these sweaters…they are easy to clean and put on.
She also send the $$ you mail to her to rescue. -
I think it just depends on the manufacturer of the clothes. We have found that Cammie is 16 inches long and a girth of 19-20. We tend to buy her a Large. The mediums seem to be to tight when trying to get her legs in.

Take a look at these beauties …

I'm making custom fit basenji fleece sweaters if you're interested. You can pick the fleece you want, and then send me a list of measurements & I will fit the fleece not just for A basenji, but for YOUR basenji. And I will keep the pattern so if you ever need another one, or if your b gains or loses weight, its easy for me to make another one for you. E-mail me at carriesquires@gmail.com if you're interested.
