Alright, so today I’m diving into the world of Welsh Corgi apparel. Yeah, you heard that right, clothes and stuff for and about those adorable, stubby-legged dogs. It all started when I was scrolling through my social media feed, and bam, there’s this picture of a corgi wearing a tiny little sweater. I mean, come on, who can resist that? Not me! So, down the rabbit hole I went.
First, I had to learn a bit more about these little guys. Turns out there are two types: the Pembroke and the Cardigan. The main difference? Tails! Pembrokes usually have their tails docked short, while Cardigans rock a full, fluffy tail. They are so cute! Cardigans, a little more ancient and rare, were bred by farmers for herding and companionship. They’re not just cute faces, they weigh in around 25 to 34 pounds and have a surprising amount of power.
In the 1920s, corgis got recognized as an official breed in England, and for a while, they mixed Pembrokes and Cardigans. But in 1934, they decided to split them into two separate breeds. They both have their own charm!
After I got schooled on corgi history, I started looking for actual corgi apparel. I started my hunt for some good stuff. I hit up a few online shops, and let me tell you, the options are endless. T-shirts, hoodies, hats, even socks with corgi butts on them! The prices were all over the place, from a few bucks to, well, a lot more than a few bucks.
- Corgi Butt Splooting Soft Cotton T-shirt – Saw one for $3.70.
- Corgi Dog Mom Crewneck – This was around $2.63.
- Custom Pembroke Welsh Corgi Charm – Found one for $4.34.
I also stumbled upon this place called CorgiCo. It’s like a corgi lover’s paradise. They have everything – clothes, accessories, home decor, you name it. And it’s all corgi-themed! I’m not gonna lie; I spent way too much time browsing. And spent some real money.
There’s even a bunch of corgi-themed stuff, like blankets and shirts. I saw a corgi blanket for women that’s soft and cozy for $1.99, and a funny “Corgivengers” shirt for $1.99. For guys, there’s a Hawaiian shirt with corgis on it for $2.19, and a simple button shirt for $0.89. Ladies can get a long-sleeve “Corgi Mom” shirt for $2.99. There’s even a vintage corgi design for $1.79. It’s like a corgi party on clothes!
Digging Deeper
I got curious about the quality of these clothes. I mean, it’s all fun and games until your corgi shirt falls apart after one wash. One site mentioned something called “STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX.” Sounds fancy, right? Basically, it means they test every part of the clothing for harmful substances. Good to know!
