I’ve had a few leads, but either the person is not currently taking orders, they won’t do a coat to go over a harness or the web site is so unprofessional I am nervous about doing business with them.  I have found no coats available for immediate purchase in the exact criteria I need.  I am quite happy to work with a seamstress to make me a custom coat.  If anyone knows anyone who makes dog coats or is a skilled seamstress that could do this for me, I’d be very appreciative.  I can take any measurements needed as well as providing pictures of the dog in harness.
