Suitable for tight labs with deep chest!

Our chocolate labrador isn't a spring chick anymore and we've noticed he's been cold and shivering outside lately and even just sleeping at home lately. He has made a habit of barking at us incessantly when we're hanging out and he gets cold (and/or bored) and won't stop until a) we move or go home b) he hugs us like a giant baby , or c) ends up in one of our beds/sleeping bags. As far as we know, our pup has never worn any dog clothes (and he's not a fan of wearing a harness for walkies - he's more of a collared guy - so every piece of clothing was adventurous. So wear this fleece sweater from Everybody Similar listings on Revain. Price was right, fit (after reading reviews) seemed right. Took advice and bought 2 sizes smaller than size chart. Back and weighs about 60-65 lbs Chart says 5XL I have Bought size 3XL As you can see 3XL fits more or less well, it's a bit short on the back and doesn't reach to the base of the tail without stretching However, the fabric does stretch a bit and when I stretch the sweater back towards the tail , unfortunately the armholes and neckline stretch and stretch accordingly (the scooped armholes become quite elongated and the scooped neckline becomes a bit like a V-neck). ung). ). In hindsight, 4XL would probably have been more appropriate, but we'll see how it wears over time. Cool thing - my pup didn't mind wearing this sweater and wearing it; He didn't walk around in it weirdly or exhibit any other normal "dog behavior" associated with having his body or limbs wrapped around strange unnatural objects. He actually seems to love him very much. A few things that I think would make this sweater better: 1. a longer neck collar (faux fleece turtleneck?) 2. some sort of elastic or ability to pull the fabric in the stomach and back areas to keep it snug Space (when the dog is shivering, the part facing the tail will flip and require human adjustment) 3. It would be nice to have some sleeves for the front and back legs for extra warmth. I could have gotten another sweater in 4XL but honestly for the price I would use this sweater more as a kind of template for the transformation. several old fleece blankets and old children's sweaters into specially selected dog outfits to remedy the above deficiencies.
