Guys and girls can someone link me to good quality leather collars and matching leads for my dogs for our walks please ? They don't wear collars when working but I like to walk them on collars so any help is appreciated
Re: Leather collar and matching leads We got quite a nice set from Scats. The stitching on the collar has lasted quite well but finally gave up the ghost after one too many swims..... as if there is such a thing. The lead still looks like new though :
Re: Leather collar and matching leads We don't have their stores here and the website is terrible :'(
Re: Leather collar and matching leads I buy Orvis fabric collars - mainly because I can have Charlie's details on them so don't need tags (which drive me a bit batty). I drool over the leather collars and leads on the website though - so mention them just in case they were the type of thing you were looking for - but have resisted on the basis I need practicality in terms of throwing things in washing machines (and they are a bit steep! ). http://www.orvis.co.uk/store/product.aspx?pf_id=4X57 http://www.orvis.co.uk/store/product.aspx?pf_id=9481

Re: Leather collar and matching leads There is ........Made2Measure - Leatherworks ....... on facebook. They do some lovely stuff if you want something special.
Re: Leather collar and matching leads I've always used rolled leather ones as they mark the coat less
Re: Leather collar and matching leads [quote author=charlie link=topic=3895.msg44808#msg44808 date=1388934330] I think the Orvis shot gun shell one is lovely. [/quote] That's my current favourite
Re: Leather collar and matching leads [quote author=charlie link=topic=3895.msg44814#msg44814 date=1388936334] It would look stunning on your GSPs [/quote] Agreed Is the sizing on that website in inches or how does it work ?
Re: Leather collar and matching leads Yes they fit 16 - 26 inches, but maybe read some of the reviews as they can indicate sizing issues. Do you have Orvis in Ireland?
Re: Leather collar and matching leads I too am looking for new collars, ours looking shabby. Have always bought Leather but not sure whether to swap to nylon for easy cleaning but I am always a bit worried about the strength of the plastic snap closure devices. Has anyone got any ideas keeping in mind Hattie's shaggy coat :
Re: Leather collar and matching leads Helen, my spaniels have always been mud magnets so I use fabric collars for easy cleaning... even when their coats have been long and they have been full-on rugs rather than dogs, I have never had a plastic buckle catch in their coats or break. I'm loving the look of those leather collars, mind. This forum is helping me develop a serious shopping habit... Clare

Re: Leather collar and matching leads Do you realise the collar/lead sets not available so you will have to purchase separately at a cost of £25 per collar and £35 per lead

Re: Leather collar and matching leads They are lovely quality and will last a lifetime. Go on go for it Oh how I love helping other people spend their money ;D ;D

Re: Leather collar and matching leads Just to add to the agony of selection. As I can’t add a link, google "Ann Rees" she can make whatever you want in loads of different colours. Whilst they are a bit pricey, they do last a lifetime of use and very easy to clean.
