Chunky knit is the warmest option in this autumn range, and the pumpkin here is raised in the knit itself rather than printed on top of it — which means it cannot crack, peel or fade in the wash the way a printed motif eventually will. Navy blue and orange are the two colourways, and the navy is the one likely to still get worn once the pumpkins have come off the doorstep.

A heavier knit does more than look substantial. Thicker yarn traps more air, so it holds warmth better than a thin jumper of the same fibre, and it keeps its shape instead of stretching out at the neck after a few wears. The trade-off is that chunky knit takes longer to dry and gets heavy when wet, so this belongs on cold dry days. Fourteen size and colour combinations are listed, from double extra small to 2XL.

• Chunky knit with a raised pumpkin motif
• Two colourways: navy blue and orange
• Sizes from XXS through to 2XL
• Pull-on style with no fastenings
• Best suited to cold, dry weather

On sizing across a range this wide. Fourteen combinations sounds generous, but not every size exists in both colours, so check the dropdown before settling on a colour. We hold no chest measurements from the maker either, so rather than repeat a chart we cannot verify, send us your dog's chest girth just behind the front legs and we will measure the exact size and colour you want before it leaves us.

Who it's for: Owners of dogs who genuinely feel the cold and want a substantial knit, with a seasonal motif that survives the washing machine.
