Black Lab Bow Sweatshirt: Embroidered Labrador with a Ribbon Bow Between Two Big Bows

This black lab bow sweatshirt pairs a classic black Labrador silhouette with the ribbon-and-bow style everyone is wearing. The lab stands in the middle with its tail up and its head turned, wearing a thin ribbon tied in a bow under its chin, and on each side sits a large bow with long, notched tails and stitched folds that give it depth. The bows and the ribbon share one color: deep raspberry pink on most colors, and blue on a few, as the photos show. 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 stitch is 100% real embroidery, stitched into the fabric rather than printed.

What is on the black lab bow sweatshirt?

The black lab bow sweatshirt has 3 parts:

• The lab: a black Labrador silhouette in the center, with a ribbon bow tied at its neck.
• The bows: two large bows, one on each side of the lab, in the same raspberry pink or blue as the ribbon.
• 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.

Are the bows pink or blue?

It depends on the color you pick: the bows match the photo of that color, raspberry pink on most and blue on a few. Pick a color in the options above and the photos switch to it. If you would rather have the other shade, or a color that matches your lab’s collar, tell us when you review your free design proof and we change the bow thread.

Which sweatshirt color should you choose?

Light and pastel colors are the classic choice for this design, because the black lab and the raspberry bows both stand out and the look stays soft and sweet. The blue-bow versions give a fresher, cooler look on the blue colors, where the black lab still reads clearly.

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 lab’s name or the words Lab Mama, 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 black lab ribbon sweatshirt?

Yes. This black lab ribbon sweatshirt keeps the bow look simple: one lab, one ribbon and two bows in a neat row. It is a sweet pick for a black lab mama who likes pretty, girly details.

Is it a good gift for a lab lover?

Yes. It suits a lab mom, a teen who grew up with a black lab or a friend whose dog is her best accessory, and it makes an easy birthday, Valentine’s Day or Mother’s Day gift. Add the dog’s name on the sleeve, and find more ideas in our dog mom gifts.

Is there a hoodie or T-shirt version?

No. This design comes only on the crewneck sweatshirt, so the color and size options above are all for that 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

Are the bows printed or embroidered?

They are embroidered. The lab, the ribbon, both bows 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.

Is there a version without bows?

Yes. The black lab silhouette sweatshirt has the same standing lab on its own, wearing a hot pink collar and tag instead of a ribbon, small on the left chest or larger in the center.

Can the lab look like my own dog?

This lab is a ready-made design. To stitch your own dog’s face from a photo, choose the custom dog crewneck, and see more labs in our labrador sweatshirts.
