Each dog
is unique, like a little furry snowflake so
finding the right fit is part art, part science.
The design of D-fa gear allows for different
shapes through adjustments that accommodate
broad shoulders and deep chests.
We find the breed reference is the best
reference point to start from. Choose a
doggy-style to match the physique of your dog.
Confirm your size using:
- First, the spine measurement
- Second, the body weight measurement
If your dog is on the border of two
sizes then consider this:
- If thick set or portly, choose the larger of the
two sizes
- If narrow or athletic,
choose the smaller of the two sizes
- Do
not drop below the spine measurement given

Steady versus Stretchy
This jacket is made from what we in the
rag-trade call a steady fabric. That means that it
doesn’t have much, if any stretch in it so it doesn’t
give so much during activity.
To account for this,
jackets made from these steady fabrics fit a little
looser than those made from a stretch fabric. That means
they don’t sit as tight around the body. It’s like the
difference between your neat-fitting soft shell jacket
and your more roomy waterproof overcoat.
You don’t
need to adjust the size you buy, but be aware that the
jacket might have a looser fit than your stretchy ones.
If you’re worried or confused,
woof@d-fa.com and
we’ll try to help you out.
