Product facts

Leather and build

Large-dog collars are built on a 4 mm (0.16 in) belt-leather base. Some models add a second layer on top.
Collars have a padded interior: a soft foam core wrapped in smooth leather (lamb, pig or nappa, depending on the model).
Hardware is plated steel (nickel- or brass-plated) on most models, sized to the strap. On our 6.3 cm (2.5 in) collars the buckle and D-ring are 50 mm (2 in). Hardware is riveted or stitched through the leather.
Spikes are screw-back, fastened through the collar, never glued on.
Many products can be personalised or engraved with a name, logo or symbol (details are collected after purchase).
