venator Report post Posted October 17, 2016 So I have a client who wants a dog collar made in black on black. Black hardware, black, leather etc. She wants it 1.75" wide and I'm having no luck finding someone who carries black 1.75" buckles. Any suggestions? Thanks.

rejerome Report post Posted October 17, 2016 Can you taper down the ends? That'll open up a lot more options on the hardware. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rejerome Report post Posted October 17, 2016 A bit pricey, but here's a 1-1/2". http://www.belts.com/p3blbebu.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beret Report post Posted October 24, 2016 (edited) I like to encourage customers to taper at the ends to at least 1.5". Keeps the bulk down and the taper frames the center panel nicely. Plus then I only have to stock hardware in 3/4", 1" and 1.5". Win win! Crazy Rebels offers black hardware on their collars. If you butter em up and ask nicely they may share their supplier with you Edited October 24, 2016 by Beret Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
