Yellow Lab Duck Shirt: Embroidered Labrador Retrieving a Mallard Duck

This yellow lab duck shirt shows a Labrador retriever bringing back a mallard drake, head turned to the side and eyes soft, the way a good retriever looks when it delivers to hand. The coat is stitched in warm golden yellow with copper shading on the ears and neck, a gray nose and fine whiskers, and the drake hangs from its mouth with a glossy green head, a yellow bill, a gray body, a purple and blue wing patch and orange feet. It is a ready-made design on a soft, short-sleeve T-shirt: 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 yellow lab duck shirt?

The yellow lab duck shirt has 2 parts:

• The lab: centered on the chest, a yellow Labrador head and chest with a mallard drake in its mouth.
• 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 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 golden coat stands out most on dark, deep green and blue colors, and it looks soft and natural on white and pale colors, where the drake’s green head leads the eye. On warm orange and brown colors the copper shading sits close to the fabric, so the drake and the light muzzle carry the design. The hoop photo after the color photos shows the real stitching on white fleece.

How do you order your T-shirt?

To order your T-shirt, follow 4 steps:

• Choose the T-shirt color and size in the options above.
• 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 lab’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 duck hunting lab shirt?

Yes. The Labrador is the classic waterfowl retriever, so this duck hunting lab shirt suits duck hunters, retriever trainers, hunt test handlers and anyone who has watched a lab swim back with a bird. A short-sleeve yellow lab duck shirt is easy to wear on early season mornings, at training days and around camp.

Is there a sweatshirt version too?

Yes. The same lab comes on our yellow lab 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 lab lover?

Yes. It suits a yellow lab owner, a duck hunter, a retriever trainer or a friend who just brought home a lab puppy, and it makes an easy birthday, Father’s Day or Christmas gift. Add the dog’s name on the sleeve, and find more ideas in our dog dad gifts and dog lover 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, the opening of duck season 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 lab printed or embroidered?

It is embroidered. The coat, the whiskers, the drake’s feathers and the sleeve name are stitched in thread, so the design has a raised texture you can feel and will not crack or peel like a print.

Is it a labrador duck hunting shirt for a yellow lab or a fox red lab?

The coat is stitched in golden yellow with copper shading, so this labrador duck hunting shirt reads as a yellow lab and also suits a light fox red lab. To stitch your own dog from a photo, see our custom dog shirts.

Are there other dog designs?

Yes. The German shorthaired pointer shirt has a liver and white pointer, and more short-sleeve designs are in our embroidered pet T-shirts.
