Secret of Our Dog
Coat Pattern Revealed
What's
the secret? Why does our dog clothing and apparel fit like a
glove?
Because each and every new style begins with
a concept. Next we take this idea and a few yards of
fabric to create a dog coat pattern.
Each and every pattern is different and cut/sewn in a way that best allows it to perform its intended use.
Of interest..
The Polartec fabric used to construct our
Alpenhitze coats will curve, stretch and lay
differently than a rip-stop nylon, or, a cotton
poplin.
Meaning..

One design will not work for all dog apparel!
For this
reason I DO NOT rely on computer software, or, a
simple generic dog coat pattern.
Each and every exclusive, aaGD.com dog apparel
garment begins with one thought.. "What would
thrill us for our Great Danes"?
Next, the fabric chosen to "best perform"
with our vision is placed on our life sized Great
Dane manikin, a.k.a., "Scraps" :)
With the help of Scraps, we can see
"first hand", how the fabric will fit and
move on the body of a dog. You may notice many of
our coats look different. That's because our work is custom per order. Also as explained above,
different types of material require unique
cut and stitching. By using a manikin we are
able to create a garment that truly fits the body
shape, curves and stucture of any breed.
Lastly, our "real, live" Great Danes will
wear each new prototype for thorough "field
testing" and.. A "Dane worthy"
approval.
There are too many dog coats on the market that
look and fit, well, like a horse blanket.
Our exclusive aaGD.com products actually fit your
dog! We've even had people write us asking if
they could submit their measurements so we can
build a human coat to match their Danes :)
Once an idea is prototyped, it's layed in rough fabric, pinned and cut to create a rough dog coat pattern. Next it's Dane tested and refined. Finally, stenciled as a hard pattern and inventoried. Lastly, if
the decision is made to expand a product to smaller
breeds such as our Alpenhitze coats, the Dane size
pattern is "manually graded" to breed
dimensions and standard for future use.
So I guess the secret's out!
Honestly, there's really no secret behind the
fit of our coats.
Begin with a concept, add some passion, a little
help from our Dane manikin "Scraps",
sew with experience using top quality
materials & strive to be the best.
Our aim has always been and remains to
"over deliver" and to improve the quality
of life for our wonderful Danes, yea, Chihuahuas
too :)
Hope you are "wowed" by your new all
about Great Danes coat!
