My lease dictates that I cannot have a dog, nor can I ask to have a dog. That second clause tells me that my landlord has a soft spot for wet noses and velvety ears and if I presented him with a real live puppy in a hoodie from J. Crew, he would fall in love and be unable to say no. I could have a new, furry housemate and possibly an on-call dog walker.
J. Crew surprised me with the crewmutts line in the fall and they released a second round of the collection early this month. I hope they continue to expand—right now, the “wardrobe” is leaning dangerously toward frat boy dogs. I guess models this cute can make anything look good. I love the tactful sizing guidelines: “Size up for in-between sizes and stout dogs.”
1. Candy-stripe dog sweater. Dry-clean only, which amuses me. $60
2. Leather-backed tartan collar. Comes in three tartans and three sizes. $45
3. Anchors aweigh dog sweater. $65
4. Sherpa dog hoodie. $68
