Spooky Dachshund Shirt: Embroidered Long-Haired Doxie in a Ghost Sheet on the Left Chest

This spooky dachshund shirt puts a little trick-or-treater on the left chest, where a pocket logo would sit: a long-haired dachshund under a white ghost sheet with two cut-out eyeholes, its feathered red-brown ears and plumed tail peeking out, and a smiling orange jack-o’-lantern bucket held in its mouth. The word “spooky” arches over its back in lowercase serif letters. It is a ready-made design on a soft, short-sleeve T-shirt: choose the color and size, keep the word as shown or switch its thread, 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 spooky dachshund shirt?

The spooky dachshund shirt has 3 parts:

• The dachshund: a long-haired doxie in a ghost sheet with eyeholes, carrying a jack-o’-lantern bucket, on the left chest.
• The word: “spooky” in lowercase serif letters, arched above the dog’s back.
• 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 thread color should you choose for the word spooky?

The thread option starts at As shown, which is the thread in the photo of the color you pick: black letters on the lighter colors and white letters on the darker ones. You can also pick Black or White for the word on any color. The dachshund, the ghost sheet and the pumpkin always stay as shown.

Which color should you choose?

Pick a color in the options above and the photos switch to it, so you can see the dachshund on that color before you order. The white ghost sheet stands out most on mid-tone and dark colors, and the orange pumpkin pops on cool blues, greens and purples. On a pale shade the sheet reads softer, so the red-brown ears and the pumpkin carry the design.

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.
• Keep the word spooky as shown, or pick black or white for it.
• 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 name or your initials, such as your doxie’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 dark shirts; pick Black or another dark thread for the light colors.

Is it a dachshund ghost costume shirt you can wear all October?

Yes. The dachshund ghost costume is stitched small, so this spooky doxie shirt reads as a wink rather than a costume, and it works on warm fall days, at a pumpkin patch or under a cardigan. It is also a true long haired dachshund ghost shirt: the drawing shows the feathered ears and plumed tail of a long-haired doxie.

Is there a sweatshirt version too?

Yes. The same dachshund comes on our spooky dachshund sweatshirt for cooler days, larger in the center of the chest or small on the left chest. Choose this T-shirt for warm weather or layering, and the sweatshirt for a cozy fleece.

Is it a good gift for a dachshund lover?

Yes. It suits a dachshund mom or dad, a friend who dresses their own wiener dog up every Halloween, or a coworker who keeps a doxie photo on the desk. Add the dog’s name on the sleeve to make it personal.

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 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 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 dachshund printed or embroidered?

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

Can the dachshund look like my own doxie?

This dachshund is a ready-made design. To stitch your own dog from a photo, browse our custom dog shirts.

Are there other dachshund T-shirts?

Yes. More doxie designs are in our dachshund shirts and embroidered pet T-shirts.
