Embroidered Shih Tzu Halloween Sweatshirt: Witch Hat Pup with Custom Name Sleeve

The Embroidered Shih Tzu Halloween Sweatshirt carries a small gold-and-white Shih Tzu on the left chest, dressed for trick-or-treat in a black witch hat and holding an orange jack-o’-lantern candy bucket. Your dog’s name is stitched on the sleeve, so the sweatshirt says whose pup it is.

What is on the Shih Tzu Halloween sweatshirt?

The Shih Tzu Halloween sweatshirt has two embroidered details:

• The witch-hat Shih Tzu: a gold-and-white Shih Tzu in a black witch hat with a purple band and a gold buckle, holding a jack-o’-lantern bucket, about 3.5 inches wide on the left chest.
• Your dog’s name: stitched on the sleeve, just above the cuff, in the font and thread color you choose (white script is shown).

Both are 100% real high-density embroidery, stitched into the fabric rather than printed, so the hat, the fur and the pumpkin have a raised texture you can feel.

Which sweatshirt color shows a Shih Tzu best?

A Shih Tzu shows best on a medium or dark sweatshirt, because its coat is mostly white with gold patches. On White or Sand the white fur fades into the fabric and the dog loses its outline.

• Best contrast: Heather Deep Royal (shown), Navy, Forest Green, Maroon and Black.
• Softer look: Light Pink or Light Blue, where the white fur still reads but with less punch.
• Skip: White and Sand.

The black witch hat stands out on every light and medium color; on Black it keeps its purple band and gold buckle as the outline.

How do you personalize the sweatshirt?

To personalize the sweatshirt, follow 4 steps:

1. Choose the garment, color and size: crewneck sweatshirt (shown in Heather Deep Royal, a soft heathered blue), hoodie, T-shirt or quarter zip.
2. Type your dog’s name exactly as it should be stitched, up to 12 characters, with the capital letters you want.
3. Pick the font and thread color for the name: one of 6 fonts on the font and icon chart and 24 thread colors.
4. Approve your free design proof. We email it within 1–2 business days, and edits are unlimited.

Who is this sweatshirt for?

This sweatshirt is for Shih Tzu moms, Shih Tzu dads and anyone who dresses up for Halloween with their dog. It works for:

• Pumpkin patches, fall walks and trick-or-treat nights with your pup.
• Halloween parties and dog-friendly costume events.
• A gift for a friend whose Shih Tzu is part of the family.

When will your sweatshirt arrive?

Your sweatshirt arrives 3–8 business days after you approve your free design proof (U.S. delivery). For delivery before Halloween, order by October 16 in the U.S. and approve your proof the same day.

Which size should you choose?

Sizes run from S to 5XL on the crewneck sweatshirt, hoodie and quarter zip, and S to 4XL on the T-shirt. Personalized pieces are not eligible for size exchanges, so compare the measurements with a top you own in our size guide before you order.

How should you wash an embroidered sweatshirt?

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

1. Turn the sweatshirt inside out before washing.
2. Wash it cold on a gentle cycle.
3. Tumble dry low or hang it to dry.
4. Iron on the reverse side, never directly on the embroidery.
