2 Ply Collars

[Mitchell]

Hi Everybody!

I'm looking to start making some 2 ply leather dog collars. I have butt bridle leather (3.5 mm thick) which does cost a fair amount. It just seems that I will be using a lot of this expensive leather for 1 collar as I will have to double the amount I will be using.

I was thinking of maybe buying from the shoulder instead which will be a bit cheaper as one it's doubled up it should be strong anyway.

I want to make some good quality collars so should I just stick with the butt bridle and add the costs on or start using leather from the shoulder which costs a bit less?

Thanks.

Hi a good bit of shoulder bridle doubled will be more than strong enough using to bits of butt bridle will be some collar

I sometimes use it for bull/cow head collars

i just use bridle shoulder as it was cheaper than butt and has plenty of strength to it

I've just bought some bridle shoulder to compare the 2 but I can see the bridle shoulder being more than strong enough for the job.
