Custom Golden Retriever Shirt: Line Art Golden Face with Your Dog’s Name

This custom golden retriever shirt keeps things simple: a golden face drawn in a few clean lines, with floppy ears, a round nose and a tongue-out smile, and your dog’s name arched over the top in capital letters. It sits small on the left chest, so it reads like a name tag for your golden rather than a big graphic. The face and the name share one thread color, dark on the light shirts and white on the darkest ones, as the photos show. It is a ready-made design on a soft, short-sleeve T-shirt that you personalize: choose the color and size, type the name, and we stitch it to order. Every stitch is 100% real embroidery, stitched into the fabric rather than printed.

What is on the custom golden retriever shirt?

The custom golden retriever shirt has 3 parts:

• The golden: a line art golden retriever face with a smile and a tongue out, on the left chest.
• The name: your dog’s name in capital letters, arched above the face.
• 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.

How do you personalize the name?

Type your dog’s name in the name box above, up to 10 letters. We stitch it in capital letters on a curve over the face; names of 3 to 7 letters fill the curve most evenly. The free design proof shows the name before we stitch, so you can check the spelling.

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 thin lines need contrast, so the drawing is stitched dark on light, pastel and mid-tone shirts and white on the darkest ones, and it stays crisp either way.

How do you order your T-shirt?

To order your T-shirt, follow 5 steps:

• Choose the T-shirt color and size in the options above.
• Type your dog’s name.
• 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 short sleeve. Type a short word or your initials, such as Golden Mom, 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 shirts; pick Black or another dark thread for the light colors.

Is it a personalized golden retriever shirt for summer?

Yes. This personalized golden retriever shirt is a light, short-sleeve option for warm days, the beach or a dog park meetup, with the same name and face as the sweatshirt. It layers easily under a flannel or a jacket in spring and fall.

Is a golden retriever line art shirt easy to wear?

Yes. A golden retriever line art shirt is just a small drawing and a name, so it goes with jeans, shorts or a skirt and looks neat at work or on errands. Many owners call it their golden retriever name shirt and wear it on the dog’s birthday.

Is there a sweatshirt version too?

Yes. The same golden face and name come on our custom golden retriever sweatshirt for cooler days. Choose this T-shirt for warm weather or layering, and the sweatshirt for a cozy fleece.

Is it a good gift for a golden retriever lover?

Yes. It is a personal gift for a golden mom or dad, a new puppy family or a friend who just lost a golden and wants to keep its name close. Find more ideas in our golden retriever gifts.

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 T-shirt 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 T-shirt you already own before you order, and size up if you want an oversized look or are between sizes.

How should you wash an embroidered T-shirt?

To keep the embroidery bright and the color even, follow 4 steps:

• Turn the T-shirt inside out before washing.
• Wash it cold with similar colors, and use only non-chlorine bleach.
• Tumble dry low or hang it to dry.
• Skip the dry cleaner, and if you iron, iron on the reverse side, never directly on the embroidery.

Frequently asked questions

Is the name printed or embroidered?

It is embroidered. The face, the name and the sleeve text are stitched in thread, so they have a raised texture you can feel and will not crack or peel like a print.

Can the face look like my own dog?

This face is a ready-made line drawing. To stitch your own dog’s face from a photo, see our custom dog shirts.

Are there other golden retriever shirts?

Yes. The golden retriever face shirt is the closest one: a full-color, smiling golden face with no name, while this one is a line drawing with your dog’s name. More are in our golden retriever shirts.
