Every Nudie Patooties shirt and sweater is handmade in the USA, and the fabric you choose changes how warm, soft and breathable it is. Here's a quick guide to help you pick.
Fleece: warmest for everyday
Fleece is our go-to for fall and winter. It's soft, stretchy and warm, and it comes in hundreds of prints, from florals to holiday designs.
Minky: softest and coziest
Minky is a plush, velvety knit that feels like a favorite blanket. It's ideal for cats who get cold easily or just love to cuddle.
Knit and organic cotton: light and breathable
Our knit and organic cotton shirts are lightweight, a good choice for warmer homes, warmer months and layering. Organic cotton is a gentle pick for cats with sensitive skin.
Thermal waffle: the middle ground
Waffle knit is warmer than cotton but more breathable than fleece, a nice in-between for cool mornings.
Velvet and velour: dressed up
Velvet and velour are smooth against bare skin and look great in holiday photos.
Faux fur and sherpa: the coziest
For the coldest months, faux fur and sherpa styles add serious warmth.
Sun protection
Hairless cats can burn. Our lightweight UV 50+ sun protection shirts are made for cats who love a sunny window or time outdoors.
