Black Lab Ghost Sweatshirt: Embroidered Black Labrador in a Ghost Costume with Pumpkins and Bats

This black lab ghost sweatshirt is for every black lab that has ever stolen a sheet off the bed. The dog sits tall under a white ghost costume that falls in deep folds to the ground, its black ears and black nose poke out, and two round eyes peer up from the cut-out with a slightly guilty look. An orange jack-o’-lantern bucket hangs from its mouth, black paws and a long black tail stretch out below the hem, a ribbed orange pumpkin sits to its left and three black bats flap off to the right. The design is stitched in the center of the chest, big enough to read from across the room. 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 stitched on the black lab ghost sweatshirt?

The black lab ghost sweatshirt has 3 parts:

• The lab: a sitting black Labrador under a white ghost sheet, with its black ears, nose, paws and tail showing, centered on the chest.
• The Halloween details: an orange jack-o’-lantern bucket, a ribbed pumpkin and three black bats.
• 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 pick for a black dog?

Pick a color in the options above and the photos switch to it, so you can see the lab on that color before you order.

A black dog shows its shape best on light and mid-tone colors, where the black ears, legs, tail and bats stand out around the white sheet. On the darkest colors the black parts melt into the fabric and the white ghost and orange pumpkins seem to float, which makes a spookier, more subtle look.

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, 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 for the darker colors; pick Black or another dark thread for the light colors.

Is it a black lab trick or treat sweatshirt for Halloween only?

No. It is a black lab trick or treat sweatshirt on Halloween night, but the pumpkins and bats suit the whole of fall, from apple picking and football Saturdays to the last leaf raking in November. With no words on it, the ghost black lab crewneck works for a lab mom, a lab dad or anyone who simply loves a dog in a sheet.

Is it a good gift for a black lab lover?

Yes. It suits a black lab owner, a duck hunter whose retriever sleeps on the couch, or a friend who just brought home a lab puppy. Add the dog’s name on the sleeve to make it personal, and find more ideas in our Labrador sweatshirts.

Is there a hoodie or T-shirt version?

There is no hoodie, but there is a T-shirt: the same black lab in its ghost sheet comes on our black lab ghost shirt, stitched smaller on the left chest without the bats. 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 black lab printed or embroidered?

It is embroidered. The ghost sheet, the black coat, the jack-o’-lantern, the pumpkin, the bats and the sleeve name are stitched in thread, so the design has a raised texture you can feel and will not crack or peel like a print.

How is it different from the chocolate lab ghost sweatshirt?

The chocolate lab ghost sweatshirt has a brown lab with thin outlines and soft peach pumpkins, stitched small on the left chest. This black lab ghost costume sweatshirt has a solid black lab with bright orange pumpkins, stitched larger in the center of the chest.

Can the lab look like my own dog?

This lab is a ready-made design. To stitch your own dog from a photo, choose the custom dog crewneck, and see more spooky breeds in our Halloween dog sweatshirts.
