Exotic Shorthair Sweatshirt: Embroidered Mini Orange Tabby Cat Crewneck

This Exotic Shorthair sweatshirt carries a mini orange tabby standing in profile, with its flat face, big round eyes and curled tail turned toward you. It is a ready-made design: choose the color and size, add a name or icon on the sleeve if you like, and we stitch it to order. Every stripe of fur is 100% real embroidery, stitched into the fabric rather than printed.

What is on the Exotic Shorthair sweatshirt?

The Exotic Shorthair sweatshirt has 2 parts:

• The cat: centered on the chest, stitched in ginger, rust, tan and cream with black eyes and nose, pink inner ears and white whiskers.
• The sleeve (optional): a name, initials or short word and an icon from the font and icon chart, in the font and thread color you choose, on the left or right sleeve.

Which color should you choose?

Pick a color in the options above and the photos switch to it, so you can see the design on that color before you order.

The ginger coat stands out most on dark and deep colors. On warm colors close to the orange fur, it sits close to the fabric and reads more softly.

How do you order your sweatshirt?

To order your sweatshirt, follow 4 steps:

• Choose the sweatshirt color and size in the options above.
• Choose whether to add sleeve embroidery.
• If you add it, type the name or initials, then pick the icon, font, thread color and sleeve.
• Add it to your cart; we email a free design proof before we stitch.

How do you add a name or icon on the sleeve?

Sleeve embroidery is optional and goes on one sleeve. Type a short name or your initials, such as your cat’s name, and pick an icon, a font and a thread color from the charts in the photos, or leave the icon off. White thread is preselected because it reads best on the dark sweatshirts; pick Black or another dark thread for the light colors.

Is it a good gift for an orange cat lover?

Yes. An orange cat sweatshirt with a flat-faced Exotic Shorthair suits anyone who lives with a ginger cat, a Persian or an Exotic, and the sleeve name turns it into their own cat’s sweatshirt. It works as one of the more wearable Exotic Shorthair gifts for a birthday, a gotcha day or Christmas, and the small design is easy to wear to work.

Is there a hoodie or T-shirt version?

There is no hoodie, but there is a T-shirt: the same orange tabby comes on our Exotic Shorthair shirt, a short-sleeve T-shirt. The color and size options above are for the crewneck sweatshirt.

What happens after you order?

We email you a free digital design proof, and you can ask for unlimited edits. Once you approve it, we embroider your sweatshirt to order and ship it from the USA; the estimated delivery date is shown on this page.

Which size should you choose?

Each piece is made to order, so it is not eligible for size exchanges. Open the size guide on this page and compare the measurements with a top you already own before you order; we suggest sizing up if you are between sizes.

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 cat printed or embroidered?

It is embroidered. The cat and the sleeve name are stitched in thread, so they have a raised texture you can feel and will not crack or peel like a print.

Can the cat look like my own cat?

This orange tabby is a ready-made design. To stitch your own cat’s face from a photo, choose the embroidered cat sweatshirt, with one to four cat faces and a line of text.

Are there other cat designs?

Yes. The cat reading book sweatshirt shows a white cat with a book and coffee, and more ideas are in our cat lover gifts and cat mom gifts.
