Country Gent Tweed Coat
Keep your pup warm and stylish in all kinds of weather.
By Lilly Shahravesh

This project is excerpted from Canine Couture by Lilly Shahravesh (St. Martin's Griffin). Photography by Vanessa Davies.

My dogs love this traditional tweed coat for weekends in the country when the weather is crisp. Short-haired breeds and older dogs, in particular, benefit from an extra layer to keep them warm in winter. This coat's woven tweed keeps out the chill on cold days, while its fleece lining makes it extra snuggly and soft to wear.

Tweed is the ideal choice for a country dog — perfect for romps through the woods and fields — but you can use any wool fabric for the outer layer. Something with texture and a pattern will make more of a statement, so think about your dog's coloration, and choose a fabric that will complement his markings, to ensure that he's the best-dressed hound on the hillside.
