Working with Pride

One of the best parts of having a custom made vest is the ability to express who you are in a way that also still gets the point across that you are a working team. This vest does both! Take pride in who you are AND what your service dog is wearing with this vest or cape. 

Pictured here is a vest with optional in-seam D-rings, pockets, and convertible upgrades. To get this same style order an S&R Short and I will use this shape unless requested otherwise. 

The design includes all the basics to both properly identify your dog and reminders not to interfere. Unless otherwise specified, the version shown in the first photos will be used for orders of this design. 

It is unethical and, in many places, a crime, to impersonate a service animal. These vests are intended for use in full compliance with your local service animal laws. 

Classic fabric: This is the vest that got us started! We live in the desert and needed something that would still be comfortable for our dog to wear in the summer. The cotton material is lightweight and breathable. It is dirt resistant and easy to clean. 

Water-resistant fabric:  If the canvas and marine vinyl had a baby, this would be it! This fabric is rated as being both breathable and waterproof, but since embroidery punctures the fabric, we are listing it as being water resistant.  The material is easy to spot clean and is fade resistant.

How this works:

1. Choose which style vest you want.

2. Select which upgrades you want added. (In order to save on shipping, it is best to purchase everything at the same time)

3. I will send you a proof to review. Work on your vest cannot begin until you have approved the design. Once approved, changes cannot be made.

4. The clock starts on the production of your vest!

Size Specific Limitations:

X-Small: This size is not available in the butterfly vest shape and does not have an option for pockets. Some graphic designs are not available in this size due to stitch density issues. 

X-Large: Due to the size limitations of the machine, if you purchase an X-Large, most styles will have seam lines between the panels. The width of the panel might be slightly narrower in some cases. If you have any questions regarding the correct size, please contact me prior to ordering.

Note about the colors: The fabric used for these vest a heavy duty textured fabric known for it's durability. Because of the texture, it is incredibly difficult to photograph for color samples because the overall color is a combination of the colors from the highlights and lowlights of where the light hits the fabric. 

When I provide you with a proof, I try to get as close to the color as I can, but the software that generates the proof image uses different color settings than Photoshop so it is not always an exact match. Additionally, colors can vary slightly from bolt to bolt. The thread is shiny and can result in different hue where the light hits it. Color calibrations on electronic devices vary from screen to screen as well. All of this makes recreating the color you'll see in your home a little challenging. 

If you are looking for a specific color, please contact me and I can provide additional images. I will do my best to get as close of a match as I can for what you need, but I cannot guarantee an exact shade due to the variables mentioned.

Note about the straps: While I make every efforts to make these as secure as possible (they are stitched the vest at 2-3 connection points), there is a lot of research that must be done regarding the strength of the fabric, straps, thread, and even the type of stitching in order to have a specific weight tolerance listed for what you could reasonably expect before the strap, stitching, or fabric would tear due to being pulled. Because I have not done this research, these vests are not being sold with the intent to restrain your animal. 

Cancellations: We are a small business, and unfortunately, that means that we are charged payment processing fees for both your initial order, as well as any refunds we process.  Because of this, a small cancellation fee (usually around 6.5%) is applied to cancellations to cover this expense. If any graphic work has been done, the fee for the graphic design is also retained due to the work that goes into digitizing and creating proofs. Cancellations requested after 30 days from purchase with be converted to shop credit and can be used in full towards a future order.
