Making Dog Collars.

[Colt W Knight]

I have gotten a lot of request to make dog collars, especially, rolled dog collars.

I can handle the construction of the collar, but I am curious as to what weight leather is generally used, and how wide the collar should be on the non-rolled section.

For example, this is my test collar. Made it for a larger yellow lab mutt with a fat neck.

I think the leather either needs to be thicker, or the collar shouldn't be as wide. It is a5/6 oz leather and 1 1/4" wide. used some pretty HD brass hardware.
