 I make all items myself, I have been in business since 1989.  I have worked for years, apprenticing in Amish harness shops and fine harness shops.  I have the training and experience to produce a high quality product.  I am not just a guy with a riveter.  It is hard to show the detail of my work through the pictures.  The leather I use is some of the best bridle leather made.  The cost of the leather is great, but so is the quality.  The methods and techniques that I use, I learned from my experience as an apprentice. All collars are made specifically for each order.  You are getting a custom made collar.  More specific details follow, which explains why my collars and leashes differ from the competition. 

 I use an oval hole punch.  The difference between using a round hole punch and an oval hole punch, is when the collar is buckled and unbuckled, the tounge of the buckle fits better through the oval hole for easier use.  The oval hole prevents stretching and extends the life of the collar.   

I edge the leather.  This removes the sharp edge from the leather and gives it a smooth look. 

I use gum traggicant to smooth the edges.  I hand rub each edge, which takes the fuzz off of the edge, and leaves it smooth and almost shiny.  This also seals the edge of the leather.  You can see this detail in the pictures.  Although this step takes a longer amount of time, it makes a aesthettic difference in the finished product. 

I use oil dye to finish the edges, which adds greater appeal to the collar.

I run each collar through a roll creaser.  This adds a two line crease to the edge, but this is not just for looks.  Creasing the leather with the roll creaser takes the stretch out of the collar.  Over the years of use, you collar size changes very little!

The only way to get this high level of quality, for a reasonable price, is to buy from the maker, me!! Please don't take chances with weekend crafters.   You need reliability and performance, go with a pro!!  I also provide my phone number to make sure you get exactly what you want.  You can also make your own design, call for details.  Greg Woods 4405997588.
