I remember ages ago we had a discussion ie Rufus and Welsh Springers being a funny shape for coats . Well Ollie has requested a new coat for Christmas because he has a TRPD waterproof coat with fleece lining that he thinks is great but it keeps slipping and it isn't quite the proper shape. I was wondering wether a greyhound sort of shaped coat might suit him better, being an oldie he's very slender and long but with a high rib, as per photo so you can see what I mean. Ollie the right way up and an upside down one so what do you think, Mistress of coat makers what would be the best style of coat for Mr Ollie Wolly the weird shaped one. He really likes that steel grey esdura fabric and quite fancies his neck being warm and dry as well aka greyhound storm cheatery stylee But most of all he just wants one that's going to fit

I think Ollie probably needs a made to measure coat, Selina, and with some shaping, but not quite the greyhound style as he is proportionately different to a greyhound. I'll need all his various measurements, including the neck height for the collar.
I have some fabric in grey that, although not Esdura, is a good, heavy quality and similar. Looks nice bound in black, red or blue. I have grey binding too, but that is a paler shade than the material. Let me know what you'd prefer, please.

I don't want to put you to any trouble Al, looking at his shape, which coat do you think woud suit his shape best out of the two I have asked Amy to reserve in the coat thread?

Neither, Selina. The whippet cut is unlikely to fit him around the neck and is cut for a slighter built dog, but he does look as if some shaping would suit him better than the standard cut.
