Black Cat Fall Sweatshirt: Three Embroidered Cats Playing in Autumn Leaves

This black cat fall sweatshirt shows three little black cats with round yellow eyes playing in a pile of autumn leaves: one crouches low with its tail up, ready to pounce, one leaps into the air with both paws raised, and one sits and watches the leaves come down. 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 cat fall sweatshirt?

The black cat fall sweatshirt has 2 parts:

• The cats and the leaves: centered on the chest. The three cats are solid black with round yellow eyes and short whiskers, and around them float red-orange maple leaves, yellow and orange leaves with black outlines and a small gold sparkle.
• 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 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 cats stand out most on light and mid-tone colors, where the black silhouettes have a sharp edge. On dark colors the black cats look softer, so the yellow eyes and the red and yellow leaves carry the design.

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 cat’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 the dark sweatshirts; pick Black or another dark thread for the light colors.

Is it a black cats autumn leaves sweatshirt for Halloween?

Yes. Black cats and falling leaves make it a black cats autumn leaves sweatshirt you can wear from the first cool day in September through Halloween and Thanksgiving. It has no pumpkins, ghosts or dates on it, so it reads as cozy and playful rather than spooky, and it pairs well with jeans and a flannel all season.

Is it a black cat fall crewneck you can layer?

Yes. This black cat fall crewneck works on its own on a cool morning, or over a collared shirt or a turtleneck when the weather turns colder. Women who like a looser fit often size up one size.

Is there a hoodie or T-shirt version?

There is no hoodie, but there is a T-shirt: the same three black cats come on our black cat fall shirt, a short-sleeve T-shirt. The color and size options above are for the crewneck sweatshirt.

Is it a good gift for a black cat lover?

Yes. It suits anyone who has adopted a black cat, a cat mom or cat dad with a house full of kittens, or a friend who counts down to fall every year, and it makes an easy birthday or Halloween gift. Add their cat’s name or initials on the sleeve to make it personal.

What happens after you order?

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 black cats printed or embroidered?

They are embroidered. The cats, their yellow eyes, the leaves 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 cats look like my own cat?

These three cats are a ready-made design. To stitch your own cat from a photo, see our embroidered cat sweatshirt.

Are there other black cat designs?

Yes. The scared black cat sweatshirt has a startled cat in rainbow neon outlines, and more designs are in our black cat sweatshirts and cat lover gifts.
