MORLICH WATERPROOF DOG COAT
Size Guide
Please note that the breed guide is a suggestion only and I would always recommend measuring your dog to ensure that the coat you purchase is a good fit.
* Please note that the length of the coat will be slightly longer than the length in the chart below as the coat is sloped at the back to provide cover for the rear of your dog. For example, the Intermediate coat is made to suit a dog with a back length of approx 54cm, but the length of the coat is 57cm.
If your dog has an upright tail please leave a note in the comments box at checkout and the coat will be made without the extra sloping, and will match the length in the chart below.
Custom Sizes
I also make custom size coats and the price of the coats are based on the length of the coat. There are separate product pages for custom sizes for each of the coat styles.

Materials and Care
- Polyester Microfibre outer with waterproof, windproof and breathable coating. The 2 layer fabric has a soft peached face making it quiet to wear.
- Polyester inner
As it is a lightweight fabric it is advisable that the coat is not worn in areas where it can catch or snag on branches or undergrowth as it may rip the lightweight technical fabric.
To prolong the life of your waterproof coat, wash it as little as possible as each time the coat is washed it shortens the life of the waterproof coating and seam tape.
It is preferable to lightly wipe off the dirt with a damp cloth, or fill a bucket with cold water and slosh the coat around to remove the dirt and then allow to air dry. Do not wring or squeeze your coat.
It is not recommended that waterproof clothing is washed with detergent, fabric conditioners or softeners as the chemicals can breakdown the composition of the fibres with each wash and strip the coat of its waterproofing coating. Instead a tech wash solution can be used (such as Nikwax Tech Wash), pure soap flakes, or wash on a water cycle only, ensuring that the machine is clean of all detergents first by running a rinse cycle first.
If you notice that the fabric of your coat is absorbing rather than repelling water, you may wish to reproof your coat.
Keep your dog warm and dry in a stylish raincoat when out and about in wet or cold weather.

Fabric
These waterproof coats are made from peached coated microfibre (the material feels like the skin of a peach). The coated microfibre is a lightweight technical sportswear fabric which is both waterproof and breathable and quiet to wear. As it is a lightweight fabric it is advisable that the coat is not worn in areas where it can catch or snag on branches or undergrowth as it may rip the lightweight technical fabric.
The coats have three reflective strips to aid visibility in the dark.
Choose from a lightweight airtex lining, or a warmer fleece lining. This raincoat is ideal if you are looking for a waterproof coat without any added warmth as it is lightweight if made with the airtex mesh lining. Should you require a waterproof coat with extra warmth than choose a fleece lining instead.
Fit
The coats slip over your dogs head and have an elasticated v-neck for ease of putting on and off and for a more comfortable fit. They have an underbelly strap to keep the chest nice and dry, and fasten with a buckle and adjustable strap around the dog's middle.
All the raincoats now come with a zipped harness hole so that your dog can wear their harness under the jacket.
Should you intend on using a harness under the jacket, then please measure your dog when wearing it as this may affect the most suitable size of coat. Harnesses with handles on them are not suited to be worn under the coat.
They have colour co-ordinated elastic leg straps which are sewn within the same peached fabric as the main body to ensure that the elastic doesn't catch on your dog's fur.

I’m so pleased to have stumbled upon Freckles Designs, we had tried so many stores/brands and had almost lost hope. I emailed measurements requesting size advice and received such a quick and helpful response. Our order was dispatched faster than expected and was nicely packaged with a hand written note and care instructions. Size small fits our (now 8 month 6kg) Cavalier perfectly, allowing just enough growth without drowning her. I have a keen eye for detail and can honestly say the quality is second to none, even compared to others at nearly double the price. We will be placing another order very soon and recommending Angi to all who admire our little girls beautiful coat!
Dog coats are perfect and really practical and dogs actually for a change happy to wear. Angi gives a great really helpful personal service. I highly recommend and have purchased several coats over years.
We order a custom size Morlich waterproof coat as we can never find a jacket that's fits him properly as he's a tall, slim collie! This jacket fits him perfectly and he looks very good in it too. Also doesn't bother him as usual he tries to get coats off him but as it fits him so well we don't have this issue anymore! Thank you so much!
Both our working cockers enjoy mantrailing and other outdoor pursuits. It is important that they have the best coats available to suit their needs. The Morllich coat keeps them warm and dry in our winter weather. If I am taking a waterproof on a walk then the dogs coats go too. I have no hesitation in recommending this coat for all outdoor activities.
The waterproof coat for my Cocker Spaniel is superb. I couldn’t possibly be more pleased with it. Thank you Angi
