This raccoon sweatshirt says what every snack-hunting raccoon is thinking. A chubby gray raccoon stands in the center of the chest with its masked face, white brows and striped tail, calmly holding a little knife in one paw. Above it, the words “i require snacks” are stitched in black lowercase letters that look like an old typewriter. It is a ready-made design: choose the color and size, add a name 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 raccoon sweatshirt?

The raccoon sweatshirt has 3 parts:

The raccoon: a fluffy gray raccoon with a dark mask, white brows and muzzle, a ringed tail and a small knife in its paw, stitched in gray, white and black thread.
The words: “i require snacks” in black lowercase typewriter letters above the raccoon.
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.

Why is the raccoon holding a knife?

Because it is serious about snacks. The raccoon looks straight ahead with a deadpan face, as if it is waiting for someone to hand over the chips. It is a cartoon joke, not a scary design, so it suits the office snack drawer, movie nights and anyone who gets a little feral when they are hungry.

Is it a funny raccoon sweatshirt for every day?

Yes. There are no seasonal pictures on it, so this funny raccoon sweatshirt works all year, from cozy fall weekends to lazy days at home. It is a good pick for people who love raccoons, trash panda memes and chaotic little animals.

Which sweatshirt color shows the raccoon best?

Pick a color in the options above and the photos switch to it, so you can see the raccoon on that color before you order. The colors we offer are the light and mid tones where the black letters and the gray raccoon both read clearly; on darker fabric the words would sink into the sweatshirt, so we do not offer those colors for this design.

How do you order your sweatshirt?

How do you add a name on the sleeve?

Is there a hoodie or T-shirt version?

There is no hoodie, but there is a T-shirt: the same raccoon comes on our raccoon shirt.

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 sweatshirt you already own before you order; size up for a roomy, oversized look.

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 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 raccoon printed or embroidered?

It is embroidered. The raccoon’s fur is built from layers of gray, white and black stitches and the words are stitched in black thread, so the design has a raised texture you can feel and will not crack or peel like a print.
