There are 2 ways in which you can determine the right size collar:
Option 1: Measure your dogs old collar. To do this, lay the collar out flat and measure from the inner edge of the buckle to the hole most used.
Option 2: Measure your dogs neck. There should be enough room so it's not tight or loose - a rough gauge is to allow 2 fingers to sit under the tape whilst measuring.
PERSONALISATION:
Let me know if you'd like your dogs name or initials stamped onto the item, free of charge. Each letter measures roughly 5mm x 8mm .

Process:
The entire piece is built by hand from my workshop. The leather is measured and cut in order to incorporate the natural markings of the hide. The raw edges are bevelled and burnished using beeswax balm to form smooth strong edges that will wear naturally over time.
What is Vegetable-Tanned Leather?
The ancient craft of naturally tanning leather is complex and fascinating. Only natural materials such as tree bark are used to tan the leather, a process which can take several months. Veg-tan leather is beautiful, often displaying the history of life through scars and imperfections. The material will develop a wonderful patina unique to each owner and after years become a treasured object.
