Two layers of American bison leather give this classic dog collar strength and rich texture. Natural scars and grain lines tell part of the animal’s story, making each collar unique. Handmade by KowaLeather in New Jersey, it’s a piece you can best appreciate when you see and touch the leather in person.

Size guide
Wrap a soft measuring tape around your dog’s neck where the collar will sit.
Leave enough room to slide two fingers between the tape and your dog’s neck.
Compare that measurement with the available size ranges. Choose a size with room to make the collar tighter or looser.
If you do not have a soft tape, use string. Mark the length, then measure it against a ruler.
You can also measure a buckle collar that fits well. Lay it flat and measure from the buckle’s metal pin to the hole your dog uses. Do not measure the full length.
Check the fit when the collar is on. Two fingers should fit comfortably underneath, but the collar should not slip over your dog’s head.
The leather
We use American bison leather with deep grain and a rich, natural texture.
Scars, wrinkles, and small marks carry traces of the animal’s life. We value these details because they give each piece its own story.
Some collars have deeper grain or more visible marks than others. Your collar may look different from the photos.
The beauty of this leather is best appreciated in person, where you can see its details and feel its texture.
Over time, the leather gains a patina—a natural change in its color and surface.
How it is made
Each collar is handmade by KowaLeather in our New Jersey studio.
We cut two layers of American bison leather and glue them together.
We stitch along the edges to hold the layers together and create a clean finish.
Both layers together measure about 4.4 mm thick.
We add adjustment holes, a buckle, and a D-ring to complete the collar.
