Tuxedo Cat Sweatshirt: Embroidered Black and White Cat Face with Blue Eyes

This tuxedo cat sweatshirt puts one small cat face on the left chest, right where a logo would sit. The face has the classic tuxedo mask: black ears and a black cap that wraps around the eyes, a white blaze running up between them, a white muzzle and chin, a little pink nose and wide blue eyes with dark outlines. You can keep the blue eyes or pick another thread color for them. 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 on the tuxedo cat sweatshirt?

The tuxedo cat sweatshirt has 3 parts:

• The cat face: a black and white tuxedo cat looking straight ahead, small on the left chest.
• The eyes: blue as shown, or stitched in the thread color you pick.
• 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.

Can you change the eye color?

Yes. The Eye Thread Color option keeps the blue eyes from the photos when you leave it on As shown, or stitches the eyes in any color from the thread chart in the photos. Tuxedo cats often have green, yellow or gold eyes, so pick the color that matches your own cat. The free design proof shows the eye color before we stitch.

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 black and white face stands out most on mid-tone colors, where both the black cap and the white muzzle read clearly. On white and very light colors the white muzzle sits close to the fabric, so the black cap and the blue eyes carry the face; on the darkest colors the black cap blends in a little, and the white blaze and muzzle carry it.

How do you order your sweatshirt?

To order your sweatshirt, follow 5 steps:

• Choose the sweatshirt color and size in the options above.
• Keep the blue eyes or pick another eye thread color.
• 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 tuxedo cat’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 the darker colors; pick Black or another dark thread for the light colors.

Is it a black and white cat sweatshirt for any tux?

Yes. The face is a simple black and white cat sweatshirt design, so it fits a tux with a full mask, a little white blaze or a white chin. If your cat has a different pattern of white, the custom option below stitches it from a photo.

Is it a good gift for a tuxedo cat mom?

Yes. It makes an easy tuxedo cat mom sweatshirt for a birthday, Mother’s Day or a new adoption, and a quiet tuxedo cat crewneck for a cat dad who prefers small designs over big prints. Add the cat’s name on the sleeve to make it personal, and find more ideas in our cat lover gifts and cat mom gifts.

Is there a hoodie or T-shirt version?

No. This design comes only on the crewneck sweatshirt, so the color and size options above are all for that 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 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 top you already own before you order; we suggest sizing up if you are between sizes.

How should you wash an embroidered sweatshirt?

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

• Turn the sweatshirt 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

Is the tuxedo cat printed or embroidered?

It is embroidered. The black cap, the white muzzle, the pink nose and the eyes are stitched in thread, so the face has a raised texture you can feel and will not crack or peel like a print.

Can the cat look like my own tuxedo cat?

This face is a ready-made design, and the eye color option gets it closer to your cat. To stitch your own cat from a photo, with its exact markings, choose the embroidered cat sweatshirt.

Are there other cat face designs?

Yes. The grey cat sweatshirt has the same small left-chest face in solid gray with gold eyes instead of a black and white mask, the tortoiseshell cat sweatshirt has a tortie face, and more ready-made cats are in our cat sweatshirts.
