It looks just like the photo
I received this dog coat yesterday, and it was warm enough outside that my dog didn't need it last night, so I really can't offer much input about the coat, itself, except to say that it looks like the photo and appears to be what I expected. My main reason for writing this review is to pass on the sizing info that was on the tag of the garment. Any sizing I found prior to ordering was pretty sketchy, and I ended up ordering an XL for my pit bull. It is fine, but a L would have probably fit her better and would have been the correct size, according to the attached chart. The chart states that you are to measure your dog from the "base of the neck to the base of the tail". This, basically, is the length of the area the coat will cover---from his collar to where his tail begins. Ok, here's the chart info:
XX-Small ------- 6"- 8"
X-Small --------- 8"-10"
Small------------ 10"-14"
Medium--------- 14"-19"
Large----------- 19"- 24"
X-Large-------- 24"- 29"
XX-Large------- 29"- 34"
Our dog measured 22", which would have put her in the L, but without access to the chart, we ordered her an XL. Instead of stopping a few inches above the tail, it comes all the way to the base of her tail, maybe even slightly past. Obviously, I don't know if all the size descriptions are as true as hers turned out to be, but I'm hoping this will help someone else.
