william Walker - Smooth leather collar Caramel

Material:

• Finest nappa leather
• Suede (for certain models)
• Solid brass fittings

Care:

Although leather products age individually over time and tell their own story, good care is highly recommended for as long a lifespan as possible:

• Cleaning: Gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Handle suede carefully.
• Care: Treat nappa leather regularly with high-quality leather balm. Treat suede with special care products and brush it with a suede brush.
• Precautions: Avoid contact with water, direct sunlight, and rough surfaces.

To avoid unnecessary exchanges, it is important to measure the correct collar size before you order. We offer you two simple methods to do this:

Method 1 - Measuring with a suitable collar

If you already have a collar that fits your dog well, you can measure the length of this collar. Measure from the beginning of the buckle (where the pin rests) to the hole that is currently used. Compare this measurement with the length information in our size chart and choose the correct size. Note that this method works best if the new and old collars are of similar thickness (see explanation below).

Method 2: Measuring the neck circumference

If you do not have a suitable collar at hand, you can measure the circumference of your dog's neck directly. Take a measuring tape (or a piece of string that you then measure with a ruler) and place it around your dog's neck where you want the collar to be. The measuring tape should fit well, but not dig in. Compare this value with the "Suitable neck circumference" information in our table and choose the correct size. We have already taken into account a margin of 2-3 cm for a comfortable fit. If you prefer a particularly loose collar, you can mentally add another 1-2 cm.

Why do length and circumference differ? At first glance, measuring a collar seems simple, but there is an important difference between the measured length of a collar and the actual resulting neck circumference. The difference is caused by the thickness of the collar. If a collar is 40 cm long when measured flat, it will not automatically have a circumference of 40 cm when worn. This is because the thickness of the collar reduces the inner diameter of the circle when it is around your dog's neck. The thicker the collar, the greater this effect. For example: a collar with a thickness of 8 mm reduces the inner diameter by these 8 mm, which according to Pythagoras' theorem results in a circumference that is approximately 2.5 cm smaller. Therefore, our plain collar with a length of 38 cm - 44 cm only fits a neck circumference of 33 cm - 39 cm. This difference takes into account both the smaller inner diameter and the extra room for wearing comfort.
