Highland Cow Christmas Sweatshirt: Embroidered Rustic Scottish Cow with Holly

This highland cow Christmas sweatshirt brings a rustic, farmhouse feel to the holidays: a shaggy highland cow peeks out from under its long fringe, with curved horns and a sprig of holly, red berries and pine resting on its head. Every strand of fringe is 100% real embroidery, stitched into the fabric rather than printed, and the video in the photos shows the stitching up close.

What is on the highland cow Christmas sweatshirt?

The highland cow Christmas sweatshirt has one design on the left chest, about 4 inches wide:

• The highland cow: a front-facing Scottish highland cow drawn in sketchy brown lines, with a long shaggy fringe over its eyes, a soft muzzle and two curved horns.
• The holiday crown: dark green holly leaves with red berries and a light green pine sprig across the top of its head.
• The placement: the left chest, so it looks festive without taking over the whole front.

It is stitched in 5 thread colors: brown, dark brown, light green, dark green and red.

Which garment and color should you choose?

The design comes on 4 garments, each with its own color list:

• Crewneck sweatshirt ($53.85): 8 colors, sizes S to 5XL. Shown in Sand.
• Hoodie ($63): 20 colors, sizes S to 5XL.
• Quarter zip ($59): 13 colors, sizes S to 5XL.
• T-shirt ($43): 20 colors, sizes S to 4XL.

The brown sketch lines show best on a light, warm color: Sand (shown), White, Light Pink or Light Blue. On Black or Navy the brown cow fades into the fabric, and on Forest Green the holly disappears.

Is it a highland cow Christmas sweater?

It is a highland cow Christmas sweater in sweatshirt form: soft cotton-blend fleece instead of a knit, so it stays cozy from the first snow to New Year’s and goes in the wash like any sweatshirt. It works for:

• A rustic farmhouse Christmas, tree farms and holiday markets.
• Ugly sweater parties, as the subtle and cozy pick.
• A gift for a highland cow lover, a farm girl, a cattle family or anyone with Scottish roots.

How should you wash an embroidered sweatshirt?

To keep the embroidery bright and flat, follow 4 steps:

• Turn the sweatshirt inside out before washing.
• Wash it cold on a gentle cycle.
• Tumble dry low or hang it to dry.
• Iron on the reverse side, never directly on the embroidery.

Frequently asked questions

Is the highland cow printed or embroidered?

It is embroidered. The cow, horns, holly and pine are all stitched in thread, so they have a raised texture you can feel and will not crack or peel like a print.

Can I wear it after Christmas?

Yes. The holly crown is small, so the highland cow reads as a cozy winter design from November through February.

Do you have other highland cow and cow Christmas designs?

Yes. The floral highland cow sweatshirt is an everyday highland cow with flowers, and the Christmas cow sweatshirt has cows in Santa hats. Every holiday design is in our embroidered Christmas sweatshirts, and more farm animals are in our animal lover gifts.
