The Heritage Dog Collar

Overbuilt for the Lifelong Journey

We’ve curated a specific 9-10 oz. Horween® Chromexcel, an exceptionally thick, heavy-duty hide selected for its tensile strength. This is heavy-duty equipment for your most loyal companion.

Most commercial collars use 4-5 oz. leather and plated zinc hardware. We’ve nearly doubled the thickness with 9 oz. Horween® Chromexcel and utilized industrial-grade solid cast brass. These materials usually reserved for professional workwear and bespoke saddlery.

The Materials

• Horween® Chromexcel (CXL): Chromexcel is the original pull-up leather; using time honored techniques and formulas that were developed nearly 100 years ago.  Chromexcel is still produced in the United States using a bark retannage from a proprietary recipe, and then genuine hot stuffed with our secret blend of natural oils and greases. Chromexcel is characterized by a rich pull-up in full aniline, hand rubbed finishes.  Made to this day with old world craftsmanship, modern Chromexcel carries on a long history of superior comfort and durability.
• Solid Cast Brass: Every component—the buckle, the rivets, and the D-ring—is solid cast brass. It will never rust, flake, or fail.
• Artisan Finished: Each collar features hand-waxed and burnished edges for a smooth, refined feel and an old-world aesthetic.
• Fits Neck Size: 17" – 23"
• Width: 1 Inch
• Build: Reinforced with solid brass rivets at all primary stress points.

The Ashland Standard We believe a dog collar should be as permanent as the bond it represents. By combining the world’s finest leather with uncompromising hardware, we’ve created a heritage piece that grows more beautiful with every mile walked.
