The Hemp Hound everyday knit sweater taps into the natural durability, breathability, and odor-resistance of hemp for warmth from town to trail in dry conditions on clear, cold days.
The open cap-sleeve construction and full-length zipper work in tandem to not only capture core warmth, but also give hard-to-fit dogs (broad shoulders, thick chests/necks) an alternative fit option with more belly coverage and full range of motion.
The Hemp Hound has quickly become the go-to sweater we turn to across all the seasons. Cozy on its own, and if weather gets wet, you can layer it under a shell, much like we do with our own favorite hoodies.
