Coats and Jackets for your Winter Walkies

November 14, 2018

Fresh, crisp mornings. Golden leaves. Epic sunrises and, of course, bundling up in cosy clothes… There’s SO much to love about this time of year. And nothing’s better than going on a winter walk to blow the cobwebs away.

Some of the crew from FatFace HQ, wrapped up in coats and cosy accessories on a beautiful coastal dog walk

Some of our crew and their canine companions recently got together and took an early morning walk on the coast near FatFace HQ, while testing out some of this season’s coats and jackets. Come and meet their furry friends…

The FatFace crew lined up with their dogs for a group photo, while wearing cosy coats and jackets

Never work with children or animals, they say. This shot took about 100 attempts to get right…

It's a dog's life!
