Tango Loungewear

Loungewear for your dog, made from Tango Chirimen.

We have crafted loungewear for your dog to relax in, using "Tango Chirimen," a fabric passed down through generations in the north part of Kyoto.

The distinctive feature of Tango Chirimen is its fine, uneven surface called "shibo."
This unique texture, created by weaving tightly twisted threads and then refining the fabric, results in a smooth, supple feel and an elegant luster.

Silk fabric has the property of absorbing and releasing moisture according to humidity, and also offers excellent breathability and heat retention. It is a material that gently envelops your dog's body in all seasons.

Commitment to Loungewear

For your dog's relaxation

As loungewear, we prioritize that it does not burden your dog while wearing it.

• Silhouette that doesn't constrict the body too much
  
• Lightweight fabric that is easy to wear indoors
  
• Design that doesn't hinder your dog's movements

It can be used not as a special occasion garment, but as an everyday companion for your dog, whether during nap time, family time, or relaxing moments while traveling.

About sizing

We offer 15 sizes, from Size 1 to Size 13, suitable for small to large dogs.

Since dog breeds have different body types and coat volumes, please do not select a size based solely on breed. Always measure your dog's actual dimensions.

Specifically, please check the following three points:

• Back length
• Chest girth
• Neck girth

Size chart

※ Dog breeds are for reference only. Even within the same breed, the appropriate size may vary depending on body shape and coat volume.
※ Long sizes have a longer back length than regular sizes.
※ If you are unsure about the size, please provide your dog's back length, chest girth, neck girth, breed, and weight.
