Dachshund Jack-o’-Lantern Sweatshirt: Embroidered Pumpkin Face with a Doxie Silhouette Smile

This dachshund jack-o’-lantern sweatshirt hides a wiener dog in a pumpkin face. Two triangle eyes and a small triangle nose sit above a standing dachshund silhouette, long body, short legs and curled tail, so the dog becomes the jack-o’-lantern’s grin. The whole face is stitched in one solid color on the left chest, a small, clean design that reads as Halloween from across the room and as a dachshund up close. It is a ready-made design: choose the color and size, keep the thread as shown or pick another, 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 dachshund jack-o’-lantern sweatshirt?

The dachshund jack-o’-lantern sweatshirt has 2 parts:

• The pumpkin face: two triangle eyes, a triangle nose and a dachshund silhouette as the smile, in one thread color, on the left 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 thread color should you choose for the pumpkin face?

The thread option starts at As shown, which is the thread in the photo of the color you pick: orange on the darkest colors, black on the light colors and white on the blues. You can also pick any thread from the thread color chart in the photos, for example orange on a light sweatshirt for a classic pumpkin look. The eyes, nose and dachshund are always stitched in that one color.

Which color should you choose?

Pick a color in the options above and the photos switch to it, so you can see the face on that color before you order. Because the design is a single color, contrast is everything: a dark thread on a light sweatshirt or a bright thread on a dark one keeps the dachshund’s outline sharp.

How do you order your sweatshirt?

To order your sweatshirt, follow 5 steps:

• Choose the sweatshirt color and size in the options above.
• Keep the pumpkin face thread as shown, or pick another thread color.
• 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 doxie’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 dark sweatshirts; pick Black or another dark thread for the light colors.

Is it a jack-o’-lantern doxie sweatshirt for every day of fall?

Yes. There are no words and no spooky scene, just a jack-o’-lantern doxie face, so it reads as a subtle Halloween sweatshirt you can wear to work, to school pickup or to a pumpkin patch. Many doxie owners call it a dachshund pumpkin face sweatshirt, and in orange it doubles as an easy last-minute costume for a dachshund mom.

Is it a good gift for a dachshund lover?

Yes. It suits a dachshund mom or dad, a friend who carves a wiener dog into their pumpkin every year, or a teacher who loves dogs and dresses for Halloween. Add the dog’s name on the sleeve to make it personal, and find more ideas in our dachshund gifts.

Is there a hoodie or T-shirt version?

There is no hoodie, but there is a T-shirt: the same pumpkin face, larger across the chest, comes on our dachshund jack-o'-lantern 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 Halloween or any 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

Is the pumpkin face printed or embroidered?

It is embroidered. The eyes, the nose and the dachshund are filled with dense stitches, so the face has a raised texture you can feel and will not crack or peel like a print.

How is it different from the floral dachshund sweatshirt?

Both use a dachshund silhouette. This one turns the dog into a jack-o’-lantern grin for Halloween, while our floral dachshund sweatshirt sets the doxie among wildflowers for spring and summer.

Are there other dachshund Halloween designs?

Yes. More doxie designs are in our Halloween dog sweatshirts and dachshund sweatshirts, and you can stitch your own dog from a photo on the custom dog crewneck.
