Here's my version of how a leather dog collar for large dogs should be built. I use high-end U.S. Full-Grain Latigo Leather known in the horse saddle industry for its resistance to water, stretching and wear. It's a flexible type of leather, comfortable to wear and made to last a long time. Combine that with stainless steel hardware and this large dog collar is built for even the toughest of them. No need to remove before jumping in that lake too. Read on below to see why my dog collars are several steps above the rest...

SIZE:
Meant for medium/large dogs 40 to 90 lbs.
Width is 1.5 inches. Use a string or measuring tape to measure around your dog’s neck where the collar will lie. I recommend putting two fingers under the measuring tape to allow room for a comfortable, yet snug fit. Do not measure an old or current collar as this will produce inaccurate results.
ABOUT THE LEATHER
For my leather dog collars I searched and searched until I found a specific type of leather that is well suited for strap goods that will see a lot of use and exposure to a range of conditions. The leather is called U.S. Full-Grain Latigo Leather and is used extensively in the horse saddle industry providing the strength that is required as well as the water resistance and resistance to wear. Specifically Latigo Leather is used to cinch down a saddle to the horse – this is an area that sees an extreme amount of pressure, weather, and rubbing – so it’s got to be strong. The leather is completely stuffed with waxes, helping to preserve the collar even when doused with water, rolled in the mud, and dried out in the sun. To be quite honest – this is the only type of leather that should be used for a dog collar – stay away from the Vegetable Tanned leathers for collars, though they are great for wallets!
STAINLESS STEEL HARDWARE
When I set out to design the strongest and most durable type of leather dog collar line I wanted to use hardware that was made to last as well. Stainless Steel buckles, Dee-Rings and Buckle Keepers is what you will find on my dog collars. It is the strongest form of metal available, rust proof, and again taken straight from the horse saddle industry.
SOLID DRILLED BRASS RIVETS
Have you heard of these? Probably not, simply because there really aren’t any other makers out there that would go to the trouble to find a style of rivet that is several times stronger than your typical version. They are solid brass with a drilled tube that allows me to install them in a way where they just simply wont let go. Plus they look nice and wont corrode.
100 YEAR WARRANTY
Yep – that covers you against any material defect or defective craftsmanship, for 100 years. If your item is found to have a defect down the road, just shoot me an email and we’ll take a look and get it repaired for ya!
FREE LEATHER CONDITIONER
If I haven’t sold you at this point, here’s the kicker! I make my own high quality leather conditioner from scratch in my shop. I call it Spiff N’ Shine and because I believe in my leather goods and want them to last for you for a long time, I provide the tin of conditioner to you for free. You only need to rub a thin layer on every 6 months or later to keep the collar in a healthy state. The leather comes pre-oiled and heavily waxed so it will be ready to go for a long long time.
FREE SHIPPING
I figured I should mention this once more. In the U.S. I ship this item for free. If you are out of the country I typically only charge half of the actual rate I pay to get it to you. How’s that for a deal?
