SIZE GUIDE
For the correct size please measure your dog from the base of their neck to the base of their tail and around the widest part of their tummy, this is usually behind the back legs.
We'd always suggest sizing up if your dog is in-between sizes:
| Neck Length (cm) | Back Length (cm) | Size |
| 28-33cm | 31-36cm | XS |
| 33-38cm | 36-44cm | S |
| 38-46cm | 44-49cm | M |
| 46-51cm | 49-54cm | L |
| 51-56cm | 54-61cm | XL |
About Alqo Wasi
Alqo Wasi has been a pioneer of alpaca apparel for dogs since 2005, and we're proud to bring their designs to Duke & Milo. Every piece is handmade in Peru by skilled Andean artisans, pairing generations of textile heritage with a beautifully soft, warm alpaca-blend knit (50% alpaca, 45% acrylic, 5% wool). The result is lightweight, breathable and cosy — finished with a ribbed turtleneck and a handy leash opening — and made the ethical, sustainable way.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I measure my dog for the right size?
Measure two things: around the base of the neck, and the back length from the base of the neck to the base of the tail. Match those to the size guide above, and if your pup is between sizes we'd always suggest sizing up.
What is the jumper made of?
It's a soft alpaca-blend knit — 50% alpaca, 45% acrylic and 5% wool — chosen to be warm, light and comfy for everyday wear.
Is alpaca itchy, or okay for sensitive pups?
Alpaca fibre is loved for feeling smooth and soft against the skin, so it's gentle rather than scratchy. As this is an alpaca blend, we'd still introduce it gradually if your dog has particularly sensitive skin.
How do I wash and care for it?
Hand-wash only, in cool water with a gentle detergent, then reshape and dry flat. Please don't machine wash or tumble dry — this keeps the knit soft and holding its shape.
Can I use a harness or lead with it?
Yes — there's a leash opening on the back, so you can thread through to a harness worn underneath and head straight out for walkies.
Where and how is it made?
Each jumper is hand-knitted in Peru by Andean artisans, using traditional techniques and a responsibly sourced alpaca blend.
There is no warehouse. That is rather the point, and it does have consequences.
Every brand here packs and posts its own orders, in its own boxes, with tracked delivery. The brands you can see are the ones that ship to your country, so your parcel is usually making a fairly short journey: a potter in Bristol posting to Britain, a studio in California posting within America.
Which does mean that an order from three brands arrives as three parcels, posted by three different people, on three different days. Whether that is an inconvenience or a small extended birthday rather depends on your temperament. It also means three lots of postage, shown before you pay, because we would rather mention it here than at the till.
Roughly how long
UK Domestic: 2–5 business days
Coming from further afield: 7–14 days. Usually quicker, but let's not prmise and it will be a lovely surprise!
Estimates, not promises. Each brand sends its own tracking, so you will be kept extremely well
Need help? Just ask.Our small team is here.
Fourteen days from delivery to tell us you have changed your mind, and fourteen more to get it back to us. No reason required, and we will not make you give one.
You are allowed to open it and try it on. Handle it as you would in a shop, and we will not quibble. Handle it as you would a rental car and we may deduct something for the difference.
Return postage is yours to pay, because the brand at the other end is a workshop rather than a warehouse. Some cover it themselves, and if yours does you will not be charged. Whatever you paid us to send it out, we refund either way, and the money goes back the way it came within fourteen days of the parcel reaching the brand.
A few things cannot come back, and only these: anything made or personalised to your order, sealed beauty products once the seal is broken, and anything perishable.
If something arrives damaged, faulty or not as described, none of the above applies. It costs you nothing, and we sort it.
Just email mail@brixbailey.com — we'll guide you through it.
