This collar is handmade out of Biothane with two different widths. The widest part of the collar is approximately 1" wide, and the narrow ends, where the buckle is and where the adjustable holes are, are approximately 1/2" wide. This collar uses smaller hardware and may not work with larger leash clips due to its size. This is a great collar for medium to large dogs to wear comfortably all day to hold their ID tags, and without a collar that is too bulky. And its a fun way to combine colors!

Sizing:

To measure your dogs neck, use a soft measuring tape and measure their neck where their collar will sit comfortably. If your dogs neck measures between sizes, I suggest going with the smaller size of collar, unless your dog is still growing. For example, if your full grown dogs neck measures 15", they will fit a small or medium collar. However, I would recommend getting a size small. 

 *This collar is a bit of an "oopsie" on the sizing and does not fit within our usual size chart and therefore there is a slight discount. This collar can be adjusted from 16" -20". It is listed here as a size large but know if you order another collar in the size large it will vary in size from this one by about an inch or so.

The biothane we use for our collars is called Beta Biothane and it has a soft coating that gives it the look and feel of leather. It has a low gloss or matte appearance and is soft and very flexible. It will hold its flexibility even in very cold weather, and is waterproof and lightweight.

The hardware used for this collar is solid brass with a PVD black matte coating.

"PVD = "Physical Vapor Deposition". PVD is a highly accurate plating process carried out in high vacuum environments at temperatures between 150 and 500 *C. It produces an extremely (emphasize EXTREMELY) durable finish to prevent scratching. Typically, black hardware that is found in the marketplace is not PVD, and is generally considered a black spray paint causing it to chip and scratch off within days. PVD plating is the process used to plate high end watch hardware, golf clubs, etc., and the only successful way to make a black that will not wear off."

Biothane is very easy to clean by simply wiping it down, or soaking and using a soft scrub brush if it gets really caked with mud. This is the perfect material for those adventure loving dogs!
