Wider collar suitable for sighthounds. The extra width gives better support to dogs with longer and slimmer necks like whippets, greyhounds etc. The collar will with time soften and develop its own unique patina, as well as darken slightly depending your dogs everyday use. Our leads and collars are handmade from vegetable tanned full-grain leather and strong solid brass hardware, made to order to reduce waste and get the most out of the material we use. Please note that the natural leather is untreated so is more sensitive to the elements and the ageing process will be more prominent than the other shades. It will develop into a tan shade. Size Guide & Details XX-Small: 21.5-26.5cm, 1.6-3.8cm wide X-Small: 25.5-30.5cm, 1.6-3.8cm wide Small: 29.5-34.5cm, 1.6-3.8cm wide Small Wide: 29.5-34.5cm, 2-5cm wide Medium: 33-38cm, 2-5cm wide Large: 37-42cm, 2-5cm wide Loop a measuring tape around your dogs neck making sure it is not too tight but not too loose. You should be able to fit one to two fingers between the neck and the collar. If your dogs neck size does not fit in our standard sizes just send us an email for a custom sized collar. We recommend to condition the leather every 3-6 months using a natural leather wax to help keep the leather soft and protect it from environmental factors. Regularly cleaning and wiping off the brass hardware from dirt will help against the oxidation process and potential staining and darkening. Please keep in mind that this is a natural process with leather and brass and can't be completely avoided. Materials Vegetable tanned leather with solid brass hardware.
