As a dedicated dachshund human I’m always on the lookout for dachshund themed clothing. The market is saturated with dachshund centric T-shirts, especially for women, but the struggle to find non-Tshirt dachshund clothing for men is real. #FirstWorldProblems

Which is why we were delighted to find Blade+Blue clothing. The independently owned and operated company uses Gavin the dachshund logo on select pieces, and we’re of the mindset that if one must wear a polo, cardigan, boxer shorts, sweater or baseball cap – might as well wear one with the likeness of darling dachshund on it. #DedicatedDachshundDude

Blade+Blue offer a long laundry list of good reasons to shop their shop. First and foremost for me, the head human in charge is also a doting dog person and took inspiration from his two dogs when creating the brand. #DogPeopleRock

Additionally, after having a chance to try the clothes for myself, I really enjoy the craftsmanship, materials used and fit. Many of the pieces are manufactured in the USA when possible, and the company is based out of San Francisco. I always welcome the chance to support to local (California and USA) artisans and companies when I can. #ShopLocal #SupportSmallBusinesses

I’m a big advocate of word-of-mouth referrals and happily share my new find with all of our friends. If you’re in the market for something new – perhaps for a recent grad, Father’s Day or an upcoming birthday, give Blade+Blue a try. At the very least like their Facebook page so you can stay current with what’s new.

Okay dachshund friends. One small caveat. I am NO SUPER MALE MODEL. My dachshunds are extremely photogenic and professional models, but I’m just a regular, average dachshund dude so… in the pictures focus less on me (doing my best Right Said Fred I’m Too Sexy pose) and more on the clothes and the darling dachshunds. Have a wonderful day friends!!
