Custom Golden Retriever Sweatshirt: Line Art Golden Face with Your Dog’s Name

This custom golden retriever sweatshirt puts a simple golden face on the left chest, drawn in clean single lines: floppy ears, a round nose, soft eyes and a happy open mouth with the tongue out. Above the face, your dog’s name runs in a gentle arc of capital letters, like a little badge with your golden’s name on it. The face and the name are stitched in one thread color that suits the sweatshirt, dark on the light colors and white on the dark ones, as the photos show. It is a ready-made design that you personalize: choose the color and size, type the name, and we stitch it to order. Every stitch is 100% real embroidery, stitched into the fabric rather than printed.

What is on the custom golden retriever sweatshirt?

The custom golden retriever sweatshirt has 3 parts:

• The golden: a line art golden retriever face with a smile and a tongue out, on the left chest.
• The name: your dog’s name in capital letters, curved above the face.
• 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.

How do you add your dog’s name?

Type the name in the name box above, up to 10 letters, exactly as you want it stitched; we stitch it in capital letters in an arc above the face. Shorter names of 3 to 7 letters fill the arc best, and longer ones curve a little wider. Your free design proof shows the name before we stitch, so you can fix the spelling or ask for a change.

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 thin lines read best with strong contrast: on light and soft colors the face and name are stitched dark, and on deep colors they switch to white, so the drawing stays crisp either way.

How do you order your sweatshirt?

To order your sweatshirt, follow 5 steps:

• Choose the sweatshirt color and size in the options above.
• Type your dog’s name.
• 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 word or your initials, such as Golden Mom or the year you brought your golden home, 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 dark sweatshirts; pick Black or another dark thread for the light colors.

Is it a personalized golden retriever sweatshirt for any golden?

Yes. The face is a friendly, simple golden that fits almost any golden retriever, puppy or senior, so this personalized golden retriever sweatshirt is really about the name above it. It works for one dog; for two goldens, pick a second sweatshirt with the other name.

Why choose a golden retriever line art sweatshirt?

A golden retriever line art sweatshirt keeps the look light and modern: a few clean lines instead of a full-color patch. It pairs well with jeans and leggings, and the small size on the chest makes it easy to wear every day, not only on dog walks.

Is it a good gift for a golden retriever owner?

Yes. A golden retriever name sweatshirt is a personal gift for a golden mom or dad, a new puppy family, or a birthday for someone whose dog is part of every plan. Find more ideas in our golden retriever gifts and dog mom gifts.

Is there a hoodie or T-shirt version?

There is no hoodie, but there is a T-shirt: the same golden face and name come on our custom golden retriever 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. 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 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 name printed or embroidered?

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

Can the face look like my own dog?

This face is a ready-made line drawing. To stitch your own dog’s face from a photo, with its name in varsity letters, choose the custom dog crewneck, which works from your photo instead of a set drawing.

Are there other golden retriever designs?

Yes. More goldens are in our golden retriever sweatshirts, and more designs for every breed are in our dog sweatshirts for humans.
