Collars, bandanas & bows

Everything that goes round a neck. Cut from washed cotton on our own table, finished with solid brass, and sized so the buckle sits flat rather than riding up behind the ears.

Collars

Five sizes, a sliding bar on every one, and a welded D-ring that will not open under a lunge.

Bandanas

Double-sided, so one bandana is two. They slide onto a collar rather than tying at the throat — nothing to work loose on a walk.

Bows

Hand-tied, then stitched at the centre so they hold their shape. The elastic loop slips over a collar in a second and comes off just as fast.

Measuring a neck properly

Run a soft tape where the collar will actually sit — behind the ears, not down at the shoulders — and keep it snug rather than tight. Then add the width of two fingers. Every size below overlaps with the next, so if a measurement lands between two, take the larger and use the sliding bar.

Collar sizes

Bandana sizes

Bandanas are sized by the collar they slide onto rather than by breed. XS fits a 20 mm collar up to 30 cm; XL fits a 30 mm collar up to 66 cm. If your dog is between sizes, the larger one sits lower on the chest, which most people prefer for long coats.

What it is made from

Everything on this page is cotton — mostly a 240 gsm brushed twill, sometimes a lighter poplin for summer prints. We wash and tumble every roll before cutting, which takes the shrinkage out in our machine rather than yours. Hardware is solid brass, not plated zinc: it will dull to a warm brown over a year or two and can be brought back with a cloth.

Washing

Machine wash at 30°, inside a mesh bag if the D-ring is likely to catch. Line dry. The brushed cottons soften considerably after three or four washes, which is when most people say the bandana finally sits the way they wanted.
