The Story Behind The Whippet Coats: Handmade Comfort & Style for Sighthounds

The Story Behind The Whippet Coats: Handmade Comfort & Style for Sighthounds

When I first welcomed a Whippet into my life, I quickly learned two things:

1. They have the most elegant, graceful stride.
2. They also shiver at the first hint of a chill.

I searched for a coat that would keep my Whippet warm without restricting her natural movement. Nothing I found truly worked — most designs rubbed, slipped, or simply weren’t made for the unique shape of a Whippet.

So, I decided to make my own. And that’s how The Whippet Coats was born.

Handmade in Scotland with Whippets in Mind

Every coat I make is cut, sewn, and finished by hand here in Scotland. I select fabrics for both warmth and wearability — from soft, insulating fleece to waterproof outer layers for rainy walks.

Because Whippets and sighthounds have such slender frames and deep chests, they need a coat tailored to their shape. My designs hug their curves without bunching or flapping, letting them run at full speed without any restriction.

Movement-Friendly Design

A good Whippet coat doesn’t just look nice — it needs to work with the dog’s body.

That’s why my patterns are shaped to allow:

• Full running stride without rubbing the shoulders or underarms.
• Secure fastening that keeps the coat in place, even during zoomies.
• Easy dressing so you can slip it on and off without fuss.

Sustainability That Lasts

Fast fashion isn’t just a human problem. I make coats designed to last for years — and if they ever need a repair, I offer a repair service so your Whippet can keep wearing their favourite coat season after season.

It’s better for your dog, better for your wallet, and better for the planet.

Loved by Whippets Everywhere

Nothing makes me happier than seeing photos from customers — Whippets lounging on the sofa in their fleece coats, or bounding through a frosty field in a waterproof one.

Here’s what one happy customer had to say:

“The coat fits perfectly, doesn’t slip, and my Whippet can run freely in it. Beautifully made and worth every penny.” – Sarah & Milo
