The leather for your exclusive piece is sourced from full grain, natural and eco-friendly leather that has been tanned in the US. We only use leather from Wickett & Craig Tannery. They are just one of the two remaining vegetable tanneries left in the United States. For 150 years, Wickett & Craig Tannery have honed the perfect method for tanning your leather, using a traditional and labor- intensive vegetable tanning technique. This produces leather of exceptional quality which is full of character and recognized for its durability and richness.

Measure at the narrowest point of your dog’s neck, just as tight or loose as you would like the new collar to fit. The collar should be snug, without being so tight that it will cause discomfort or loose enough to slide over your dog’s head.
As a rule of thumb, a well-fitting collar should leave just enough room for you to slide two fingers between the collar and your dog’s neck.
These handcrafted products are made from the finest top grain leathers and other quality materials. Products have been featured in Pet Product News, The Pet Elite, Pet Business, Pet Age, Fido Friendly, Dog Fancy, and various print and television ads, including Real Simple Magazine and Better Homes and Gardens!

MEASURING: Even though you can expect some degree of adjust-ability with your new dog collar, it is important to measure your dog carefully.
If you are satisfied with the fit of your dog’s current collar, measure that collar from the center bar of the buckle to the farthest hole. THIS collar is sized from the center bar of the buckle to the farthest hole (See diagram below). Some brands measure from the center bar of the buckle to the CENTER hole.
- Please also take into account that each collar will have 2″ of adjustability. Given the example of a 14″ dog collar, a 14″ collar will adjust from 12″ to 14″.
- If you don’t have a tape measure, your can measure your dog’s neck with a string then measure the string with a flat ruler.
- A rule of thumb is to leave an allowance for two fingers to fit between the collar and the dog for a comfortable fit. The collar should not be so tight that it will cause discomfort or so loose that it slides over the dog’s head.
Leather is a natural product that will last a long time with proper care. Occasional cleaning with leather care products is a good idea and the use of leather conditioners is recommended. This handcrafted product is made from the finest top grain leathers and other quality materials. Great craftsmanship and will get better in time with basic leather care.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS
Buckle-End Collar: A Buckle-End Collar is a collar where the buckle is at the end of the collar’s strap.
Extended-Dee-Ring: An Extended-Dee-Ring pattern refers to those collars where the dee-ring is at the end of the collar’s strap.
Latigo Leather: The word Latigo refers to a type of leather that is tanned in a way that makes it especially soft and supple with use. It is the same leather used for accessories in the saddle-making trade, such as reins and cinches.
Bridle Leather: Our tan and black leather products are made of Bridle Leather. Bridle Leather is used to make many of our harnesses and collars because of its rich color and ability to withstand harsh conditions and still look great. It is strong, firm, and resists stretching. Bridle Leathers were developed to withstand the stresses and strains that a horse puts its bridle through.
Natural Vegetable Tanned Skirting Leather: Vegetable Tanning is a process where vegetable materials such as tree bark and other materials are used in the tanning process. The result is a piece of leather that is versatile enough to be used for a variety of applications. Natural Vegetable Tanned Skirting Leather, the leather used to make the best, hand-tooled saddles, pouches, and accessories, is the same leather used for our harnesses and as a base for our red, black, pink, blue, and yellow collars and Leashes.
Top Grain or Full Grain Leather: The Grain refers to the surface of the leather. Top Grain or Full Grain Leather is the portion of the hide that is the strongest. Because of this nature of the cut, you may see slight variations in the surface that add to the beauty and character of the piece.
- Remember that puppies grow quickly, so it is important to check the tightness of your dog collars.
- You should always be able to put two fingers between the dog and collar.
- Inspect and replace a collar or a leash as soon as it shows signs of wear that threatens the integrity of the collar/leash.
