New Ruff Dog winter coat
Thanks to customer service for alerting me on the sizing. I took a small in the black Ruff Dog jacket and fit perfectly into the extra small grey. I also measured both jackets and the grey XS is larger than the small black jacket so keep that in mind when ordering. It fits big. A bit disappointed in the material as it doesn’t feel as sturdy as the black coat. I worry it may tear or get ripped by dog toe nails if they jump up. The back pocket feels a bit flimsy. Still a great coat. Has all the other features I like with the pocket liners for treats and fleece lined hand pockets. Nice hood. All in all a nice jacket. Seems like more of a dress jacket than a working jacket like the black one.

Fantastic jacket
Warm, but loose enough to wear layers. So many pockets I can have a different item in each pocket. Very well made, love the blue colour.
I’m 5’2” and 120lbs, I got the XS
