Description

Please note:
Sizes 25, 30, and 35 will not feature the additional chocolate brown fabric across the back. This adjustment is made to ensure the coat remains lightweight and comfortable for smaller dogs, without compromising on protection or quality. 

The Original Playcoat is designed to safeguard dogs from attacks, cuts, scratches, and puncture wounds. Crafted from our signature Safety Tweed — a military-grade fabric three times stronger than Kevlar, yet as light and flexible as a regular dog coat. The coat places protection on the outside, so it won’t rip or tear, even against barbed wire or in the event of an attack. Making the Playcoat a long lasting investment. 

A cosy fleece lines the interior, providing warmth on crisp, frosty walks. Crafted from recycled plastic, it combines comfort with sustainability.

What is Jacron?
Jacron is our vegan alternative to leather, created from sustainable kraft paper using water, natural rubber, and cellulose — the building blocks of plant cell walls. A material that proves the strength of nature should never be underestimated.

1 Year Guarantee
Our products are crafted to last — and now we’re backing that up with a 1-Year Product Guarantee across all our clothing. 

This guarantee covers the construction, stitching, fabric, and components of your coat. For example, if tlining fabric rips within a year, simply get in touch with your Number of Authenticity or Order Number, and we’ll repair it for you.

And for products over a year old, we’ll continue to offer our repair service, ensuring your items last as long as possible.

Fit

All Playcoat sizes are determined by the coat’s back length—for example, a size 55 corresponds to a 55 cm back measurement.

Our Playcoat is designed to deliver style, functionality, and all-around protection. The tailored fit complements a dog’s natural silhouette, with adjustable straps for versatile wear.

Ideal for daily use, it blends elegance with practicality — the perfect companion for crisp morning walks or wet afternoons in the park. And with protective fabric at its core, your dog is always safer in their Playcoat.

If your dog is between sizes, we recommend selecting the larger option for better coverage. Measurements are approximate.

Struggling to find the right fit? No dog should go without protection. Our team is happy to help with bespoke sizing — custom Playcoats start at an additional £20. Please note: customised orders are non-refundable, as they are made to measure.

Care Instructions

The Playcoat is machine washable — simply turn the jacket inside out and wash at 30°C, then leave to air dry.

For the leather label, apply leather balm regularly to maintain its appearance and longevity.

Why does my dog need Protection?

Every day in the UK, an estimated 273 dogs lose their lives to attacks. But the impact goes far beyond physical harm — dog attacks leave lasting emotional scars. Studies show that over 60% of dogs develop behavioural issues following an attack, affecting both them and their guardians.

At West & Jones, we believe walks should be moments of joy, not fear. That’s why we created the Playcoat — a protective coat designed to provide peace of mind and safeguard your dog from life-threatening injuries. More than just protection, it’s a life-saving investment in your dog’s safety and wellbeing.
