BRORA WATERPROOF DOG COAT (CUSTOM SIZE)
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
Wash your raincoat with a specialist waterproof cleaning product such as Nikwax or Grangers. Don’t use fabric softeners or conditioners.
To reactivate the waterproof coating after washing, tumble dry on a warm low setting
for 20 minutes, or iron on a warm no steam setting with a cloth or towel between the
coat and iron to protect the fabric.
If rain stops beading and rolling off the fabric then it is also time to reproof the coat.
Nikwax and Grangers also make reproofing products -follow the manufacturers
instructions

- Shaped at rear to follow contours of your dog
- Zipped harness hole and zipped opening for lead attachment*
- Reflective stripes

* If you don't require either the zipped opening for the harness and/or lead please use the discount code NOHARNESS at checkout to receive a 5% discount and leave a note at checkout stating which one you don't require.
These waterproof coats are made from a tough but soft shell fabric. The fabric is a lightweight technical sportswear fabric which is both waterproof with a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) and is also breathable and quiet to wear. It is a two layer fabric with a soft outer face and a waterproof breathable membrane. You can choose to have your coat lined with a lightweight fabric or opt for a warmer fleece fabric
The coats have three reflective strips to aid visibility in the dark.
Fit
The coats slip over your dog's head 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 and a zipped opening in the collar for a lead attachment.
Should you intend on using a harness under the jacket, then please measure your dog when wearing it as this may affect the girth and chest measurements. 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.
Custom Size
This item is a custom sized item. Please click here for guidance on measuring your dog.
The price of the Custom Size coat is based on the length of the coat - please choose the size range that the length of your coat falls into so that the correct price for your coat is selected.
Enter the measurements in centimetres for length, girth, and neck size (please see notes below regarding the length measurement).
Please use the Further Information text box to provide any further information that you may feel to be useful. For example, the breed of your dog or if you have a broad dog you may wish to provide the breast measurement.
Please measure your dog carefully as custom sized coats are non returnable, unless the item is faulty or there is an error on the part of Freckles Designs.
* Please note that the length of the coat will be made slightly longer than the length that you provide as the coat is sloped at the back to provide cover for the rear of your dog. For example, if the length of your dog from base of neck to tail is 54cm and this is what you enter for measurement (A), then the actual length of the coat, including the slope, will be 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 measurement that you provide.

Lovely coat which fits my extra large Wolfie girl beautifully. Definitely does what it says on the tin, and there is a lot less of her to dry after a rainy day walk now - result! :-) Highly recommend, particularly if you have a difficult dog to fit "off the peg".
Took the advice on the website and the coat fits my dog perfectly.
She was happy to wear it and it helped to keep her warm and dry during a wet week working all day in Epping Forest.
Took a couple of weeks to arrive but that was exactly as stated on the website.
Nice to support a small UK business too.
Both my dogs now have Freckles Brora coats, The coats are lovely and soft and appear to be very comfortable from the dogs’ point of view. Very happy with my purchases
Can’t comment on waterproofing as we’ve not tested it yet, but my dog loves it and usually she detests wearing a coat. Very happy so far!
Ruby's second coat from Freckles, we have drying one too. As before the quality and fit is second to none, made to measure using the measurements previously given. Thoroughly recommended.
