Coastal Icons Sweatshirt: Embroidered Flag Sweater, Rain Boots and Golden Retriever with a Bow

This coastal icons sweatshirt lines up three things from a weekend on the coast: a cable-knit sweater with an American flag on the front, a pair of tall rain boots, and a happy golden retriever with a ribbon bow around its neck. The three icons sit in a neat row across the chest, and you choose the thread color of the sweater, the boots and the bow, or keep them as shown. It is a ready-made design: choose the color and size, set the threads, add a name or icon on the sleeve if you like, and we stitch it to order. Every stitch is 100% real embroidery, stitched into the fabric rather than printed.

What is on the coastal icons sweatshirt?

The coastal icons sweatshirt has 2 parts:

• The front: a flag sweater, a pair of rain boots and a golden retriever wearing a bow, in a row across the chest.
• 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 sweatshirt and color should you choose?

Choose the sweatshirt, then its color and size, in the options above.

The photos show the design on two sweatshirt colors: a blue one with a tan flag sweater, navy boots and a red bow, and a cream one with a navy flag sweater, red boots and a navy bow. Pick one of those two colors and the photos switch to it.

Can you choose the thread colors?

Yes. Choose a thread color for the sweater, the boots and the bow in the options above, or keep As shown. On the two colors in the photos, As shown means the thread colors you see there; on any other color, we pick the shades that stand out best on your sweatshirt and show them on your free proof. The colors match the thread color chart in the photos. A red, white and blue set suits the Fourth of July, and two shades of the same color give a softer look. Your free design proof shows the icons in the threads you picked before we stitch.

How do you order your sweatshirt?

To order your sweatshirt, follow 5 steps:

• Choose the sweatshirt, then its color and size.
• Pick a thread color for the sweater, the boots and the bow, or keep As shown.
• 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 golden’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 for the darker colors; pick a dark thread such as Navy for the light colors.

Is it a preppy golden retriever sweatshirt?

Yes. The flag sweater and rain boots are classic preppy pieces, and the golden with its bow ties them to the dog at home, so it reads as a preppy golden retriever sweatshirt and a coastal golden retriever sweatshirt in one. It suits golden moms and dads, beach-town weekends and fall walks, and the design has no words on it, so it works all year.

Is it a good gift?

Yes. It suits a golden retriever owner, a friend who loves a New England or coastal style, or anyone who keeps a pair of rain boots by the door. Set the bow to their favorite color, add their dog’s name on the sleeve, and find more ideas in our golden retriever gifts.

Is there a hoodie or T-shirt version?

No. This design comes only as a crewneck sweatshirt, and the color and size options above change with the sweatshirt you pick.

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. For a birthday or a holiday, order at least two weeks ahead.

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 chest width and length with a sweatshirt you already own before you order. Size up for an oversized look.

How should you wash an embroidered sweatshirt?

To keep the embroidery bright and the color even, follow 4 steps:

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

Frequently asked questions

Are the icons printed or embroidered?

They are embroidered. The sweater, the boots, the golden retriever, the bow 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 dog look like my own dog?

This golden is a ready-made design. To stitch your own dog from a photo, choose the custom dog crewneck, and find more golden designs in our golden retriever sweatshirts.

Does the sweatshirt shrink?

A little shrinkage is normal for a cotton-rich sweatshirt. Washing cold and drying low keeps the size and color close to new.
