Short-coated and small breeds genuinely feel the cold. A whippet or a chihuahua shivering in December is not being dramatic, it simply has neither the coat nor the body mass to hold heat for long. A lined coat is functional kit for those dogs rather than dressing up, and this one manages warmth without looking like a high-visibility gilet, which some owners care about more than they admit.

Faux suede outer, shearling lining at the collar where a dog loses heat around the neck and chest, and button trim across the front. The belly strap is the part that decides whether a coat actually works, and this one is adjustable, so it pulls in for a deep-chested narrow dog or lets out for a barrel-shaped one. That is what stops a coat rotating round the body or riding up over the shoulders halfway through a walk.

• Faux-suede outer with a shearling-lined collar
• Adjustable belly strap for fine-tuning the fit
• Button trim detailing
• Around 200g to 250g depending on size
• Six options from S through to XXL
• Brown colourway throughout

On sizing: For the lettered sizes, measure back length from collar to tail base. Faux suede is also not waterproof.

Who it's for: Small, short-coated dogs who need a genuine warm layer in winter, on dry days rather than wet ones.
