Quality Meets Comfort

At Hendricks and Maple, we take pride in delivering exceptional quality, and our Luxury Polar Fleece Tankies are no exception. Crafted from the same top-tier fabric as our popular Luxury Polar Fleece Snugs for standard breeds, these Tankies offer the same level of comfort, warmth, and style. You can expect the same quality embroidered logo patches on the back and the signature chenille embroidered Hendricks and Maple logos on the side, ensuring your pup looks their best while staying cozy in lovely high quality polar fleece fabric.



Size Matters

We understand that one size doesn't fit all, especially when it comes to longer body breeds. That's why our Luxury Polar Fleece Tankies come in five different sizes—XS, S, M, L, and XL. However, it's crucial to refer to our size chart before making a purchase. Proper measurement ensures the perfect fit, keeping your furry friend comfortable and stylish. We have made sure that our measurements are accurate so you can purchase online with confidence, whilst keeping in mind that these Tankies are lovingly handmade and some slight variation, though minimal, does occur. Typically sizes XS and S fit our Mini and Standard Dachshunds, with the M and L typically fitting small and larger Whippets, and L and XL typically fitting small and larger Greyhounds but you should always measure your dog as there are no manufacturer size standards and if you would typically buy a medium in one product it doesn't mean your dog is a medium in other products.

Snug Fit for Ultimate Comfort

Our Luxury Polar Fleece Tankies are designed to provide a snug fit, keeping your dog warm and comfortable during the colder months. We understand the importance of warmth without compromising on ease of movement. With a neck cuff collar to help retain body warmth, these tankies are a fantastic addition to your pup's winter wardrobe. Also with no sleeves our Tankies are perfect for longer body hounds that have both short legs and long legs alike as they focus on the typically larger chest requirements to longer lengths in the body required by these breeds. The neck cuff ranges are also wide and roomy to allow for varying neck widths and lengths as well. The arm holes are wide to allow freedom of movement and help get legs through armholes. However all our fleece tops are a snug fit to be of any benefit and actually keep your dog warm. Loose and gaping tops do very little to keep your dog warm and cozy.

One to Wash and One to Wear

We encourage "one to wash and one to wear" with our Luxury Polar Fleece Snugs and Tankies. These fleece tops are beautifully crafted, high-quality, and designed to withstand regular use. Having an extra one on hand ensures your dog is never left in the cold and without their cozy and stylish tankie.

Not for Standard Breeds

While our Luxury Polar Fleece Tankies are perfect for longer body breeds, we recommend opting for our Snugs if you have a standard breed. The Snugs are available in a wide range of sizes from XXS to 4XL, with numerous designs and colours to choose from. They offer the same comfort and quality that our customers adore, in completely different sizing and lengths more suited to standard breeds.


With Hendricks and Maple's Luxury Polar Fleece Tankies, longer body breeds can finally enjoy the warmth, style, and quality they deserve. These tankies are the perfect addition to your pup's winter wardrobe, ensuring they stay cozy and chic on every outing. Explore our size chart, choose your favourite design, and give your furry friend the gift of comfort and fashion this season with a beautiful luxury fleece Tankie.
