Our Dog Coat Pattern Secret

What's our dog coat pattern secret? Why does aaGD.com dog clothing and Dane apparel fit like a glove?

Each and every new style of dog coat begins with a concept. We take this idea, and a few yards of fabric, to create a Great Dane dog coat pattern. Each and every pattern is different and built using the best quality fabric to perform for its intended use.

However...

The Polar-Tec fabric used to construct our Alpenhitze coats will curve, stretch and lay differently than a rip-stop nylon, or, a cotton poplin.

Meaning...

One pattern will not work for all dog apparel!

For this reason we DO NOT rely on computer software, or, a simple, generic dog coat pattern.

Each and every exclusive, aaGD.com dog apparel product 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, our team can see "first hand", how the fabric will lay and move on the body of a Dane. You may notice many of our coats look different. Yes, as explained above, different types of material require unique placement and stitching. By using a manikin we are able to create a garment that truly fits the body shape, curves and stucture of a Great Dane.

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, then Dane tested, a hard pattern is stenciled, cut and inventoried. 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 also inventoried 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", employ experienced seamstresses using top quality materials & always, pay attention to details.

Our intent 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!

Jeff, Bruiser, Koda & the rest of the aaGD.com "skin" team.
