Step 3: Depending on the shape of the dog coat that you’re looking to buy, you may need to measure the full length of your dog from the front centre of their chest to the base of their tail on the underside. On the Barbour dog coat size guide, this is called the tab to cheek length and is applicable for most coats that fasten across the front of the dog. I hit up my fabric stash to find the fabric for the coat, and then I headed to my local Meijer store to get all the notions. Did you know that Meijer has an amazing craft section including tons of sewing supplies? According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, short-haired and short-legged breeds are more likely to have a lower tolerance for cold, while young dogs, senior dogs, and pets with health conditions may need more help regulating their body temperature.

Using the pattern piece, place the top of the pattern on the fold of the outside fabric, pin down, and then cut. Repeat with the lining fabric. First, you need some measurements. Get out your measuring tape, and measure the spots on your dog to fill in the printable. I recommend being generous with your measuring—don’t make the measuring tape too tight. I sewed with a 3/8″ seam allowance here and didn’t add it to my pattern because I knew I measured loosely. Dogs fluctuate in weight just like humans do, so it’s nice to have a little bit of space to be able to adjust. Write all those measurements down in the spaces provided.Dirty Chai Latte.

Transfer the harness loop marking to your dog coat using the measurement you took, and then using the buttonhole setting on your sewing machine, create a buttonhole large enough to fit your leash through. If you don’t need to add a hole for a harness loop, you’re all done! Put it on your puppy and go for a walk. If you do need a harness hole, move onto step five. Optional Step 5: Make Hole for Harness Loop Some dogs are just naturally better suited for colder environments, because they have more fur. As a result, they won’t need as heavy of a coat as others.

Step 2: Next, you’ll need to measure the mid width of your dog. For a Barbour dog coat, the mid width refers to the entire top side of the fabric. This is the part that will be securely fastened to your loyal companion with a comfortable strap when they wear the coat. To measure this, measure the top width of your dog’s middle, from rib to rib. Again, since the units on the Barbour dog coat size guide are taken in centimetres, we advise noting your pups’ measurements down accordingly.
