I use 100% Cotton Webbing for my collars because it is very soft and lightweight, yet strong and durable. Ribbon or material is used to cover the outside (top) of the collar and a smaller 1 inch ribbon is used to line the inside of the collar for stability and design.
The D-rings I use are nickel plated, welded steel. I choose to use the thicker, heavy duty D-rings because I like the look of quality this gives the collars. The slides are rounded and nickel plated metal.
Colored hardware: This coloring is done using a Powdered Coating. Powder Coating is a very durable, baked-on finish for metal hardware. The coating is sprayed on, electrically bonded, and then baked at 400* for a very even and super tough finish. It is actually easier than painting and much more durable. This does not mean that is will never chip or wear.
My goal is to offer unique and fun collars and other items for your special Greyhound(s) and/or dog(s).
