Custom Dog Crewneck: Embroidered Pet Face with Varsity Name and EST Year

This custom dog crewneck turns your favorite photo into a stitched portrait of your dog’s face, with its name arched above in bold varsity letters and an EST year on either side. Every hair, letter and number is 100% real embroidery, stitched into the fabric rather than printed, and it works just as well for a cat.

What is on the custom dog crewneck?

The custom dog crewneck carries one design across the center chest:

• The portrait: your pet’s face embroidered from your photo, with its real markings and eye color.
• The name: up to 12 letters in capital varsity lettering, arched over the portrait in the thread color you choose, with a thin outline.
• The EST line: “EST.” on one side of the portrait and a year or short text on the other, stitched in the name color. You can leave it out.
• The sleeve (optional): initials, a short word or an icon such as a paw print or a heart on the left or right sleeve.

How do you personalize your crewneck?

To personalize your crewneck, follow 5 steps:

• Choose the garment, color and size in the options above.
• Type your pet’s name and pick its thread color from 24 colors.
• Add an EST year or short text, or leave it blank.
• Add sleeve embroidery if you like (+ $10): initials or text, an icon from the font and icon chart, the font, thread color and sleeve.
• Upload 1 to 4 clear photos of your pet, facing the camera with both eyes visible.

Which garment and color should you choose?

The design comes on 4 garments, each with its own color list:

• Crewneck sweatshirt ($53.85): 8 colors, sizes S to 5XL.
• Hoodie ($63): 20 colors, sizes S to 5XL.
• Quarter zip ($59): 13 colors, sizes S to 5XL.
• T-shirt ($43): 20 colors, sizes S to 4XL.

Pick a garment color that contrasts with both your pet’s fur and the name color. A light name such as Beige or White reads best on Navy, Forest Green, Light Blue or Maroon, and a dark name such as Dark Brown or Black on Sand, White or Light Pink. Your free proof shows the exact combination before we stitch.

Is there a custom dog hoodie version?

Yes. Choose Hoodie in the first option for a custom dog hoodie with the same portrait, varsity name and EST line on the chest, and the same optional sleeve embroidery. It is a popular choice when you want a personalized dog hoodie as a gift for a dog mom or dog dad. See all our custom pet hoodies.

What happens after you order?

We email you a free digital design proof within 1–2 business days, and you can ask for unlimited edits. Once you approve it, we embroider your crewneck in 1–3 business days and ship it from the USA, so it arrives 3–8 business days after approval (U.S. delivery).

Which size should you choose?

Each piece is personalized and made to order, so it is not eligible for size exchanges. Compare the measurements with a top you already own in our size guide before you order, and size up for a roomy, oversized fit.

How should you wash an embroidered crewneck?

To keep the embroidery bright and flat, follow 4 steps:

• Turn the crewneck 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

Can I order it with my cat?

Yes. The custom dog crewneck works for any pet: upload a photo of your cat, type its name, and we stitch its face the same way.

Is the portrait printed or embroidered?

It is embroidered. The portrait, name, EST line and sleeve details are all stitched in thread, so they have a raised texture you can feel and will not crack or peel like a print.

Is there a Christmas version?

Yes. The dog face Christmas sweatshirt uses the same varsity name and EST layout for the holidays. More designs from your photo are in our custom dog sweatshirts.
