Let’s not split hairs

If you’re concerned about mats and tangling around the rolled leather collar, fear not. Dogs with shaggy, long hair (such as a Wheaten Terrier with a long cut) can wear these collars 24/7 without a problem. The fact that the collars are made from leather assures that they will wear well and put forth an overall classier appearance than slippery nylon collars. The rolled leather collars are also good for dogs with sensitive skin.

What to look for?

When buying a rolled leather dog collar, one should look for specific qualities. There are rolled collars on the market that are nothing but imitation.

• Check the tongue holes. Each should be evenly spaced and smoothly punched; a sign of fine workmanship.

• The buckle should be cast not stamped to assure strength. Cheap thin metal will not only be weaker than a heavier metal but will rust.

• The D-ring, buckle and any other hardware on the collar should be riveted on.

• A high quality rolled leather dog collar will have an extra piece of leather stitched in between the two edges rounding the collar and reinforcing it. Due to the absence of this extra piece of leather a sharper edge is present on cheaper collars causing your dog discomfort.

• No fraying or tearing should ever be present.

All in all, a rolled leather dog collar is the perfect collar for shaggy dogs or long hairs. Because they are rolled, matting and tangling are decreased. They are comfortable, strong and a fine example of American craftsmanship.
