Cotton Mill Woven Dog Collar in Olive Green

Cotton: 4mm woven cotton cord in muted olive, milled and dyed in Yorkshire, then woven by hand in Britain.

Leather strap: Veg-tanned leather, naturally finished. Paired in chestnut brown on this collar. Italian, French and British cowhide, chosen for each piece rather than a single origin claim.

Hardware: Solid brass roller buckle and D-ring, plus the Green Dog rope dachshund charm. Twelve-month hardware guarantee.

Dimensions: 25mm cotton panel over a 20mm leather strap. Six sizes from 9 to 26 inches.

How to measure: Run a soft tape around the widest point of your dog's neck, snug but not tight. Two fingers should sit comfortably under the finished collar.

Choosing a size: Each size is a range rather than a single figure, so there is adjustment either side of your measurement. Pick the range your measurement sits inside. If you land between two, take the larger one.

Available sizes: 9 to 12 inches, 11 to 14 inches, 14 to 17 inches, 17 to 20 inches, 20 to 23 inches, 23 to 26 inches.

Puppies: Buy for the neck the dog has now. A collar bought oversized to grow into does not sit where it should in the meantime.

If it is wrong: Message me. Size exchanges and amendments are available.

Changing your mind: Thirty days from delivery to change your mind, against the 14 the law requires of me. You are buying this olive green collar as shown and choosing a size I already make, so it is an ordinary purchase and you sign nothing away by ordering. If the size misses, message me. Size exchanges and amendments are available. Measure carefully before you order and ask me if you are unsure; I would far rather get it right first time. If anything arrives faulty or not as described, I will repair, replace or refund it and cover the postage. My returns page has the detail.

Cotton weave: Spot clean with a damp cloth. If it needs more, hand wash lightly in cool water and air dry naturally, away from direct heat.

Leather strap: Wipe mud off with a damp cloth and let it dry naturally, not on a radiator. Condition it once or twice a year with a leather balm. That is all it needs.

Hardware: Wipe the brass clean. It darkens into a patina with use, which is normal. Polish it lightly if you prefer it bright. Covered by Green Dog's twelve-month hardware guarantee.

Not machine washable: No. The cotton would probably survive it; the veg-tanned leather strap and the brass fittings would not. A finished collar is only as washable as its least tolerant part.

What is the collar actually made of? 4mm cotton cord, milled and dyed in Yorkshire and woven by hand in Britain, over a veg-tanned leather strap. Solid brass roller buckle and D-ring, and the Green Dog rope dachshund charm.

Can I put it in the washing machine? No. There is veg-tanned leather and solid brass on this collar and neither belongs in a machine. Spot clean the cotton, wipe the leather, air dry naturally.

Is olive green a subtle colour or a strong one? Subtle. It is a muted, earthy olive, understated enough for city walks and earthy enough for muddy fields. The chestnut brown leather strap warms it up.

Does the leather need looking after? A little. Wipe mud off with a damp cloth and let it dry naturally, not on a radiator. Condition it once or twice a year with a leather balm. That is the whole routine.

Is there a matching lead? Yes, the Olive Green Cotton Mill Lead. Put the collar and the lead in the same basket and 10% comes off the lead automatically, with no code. It does not combine with a discount code.

How long will it take to arrive? Two to six working days is the making window, and it ends when the collar is dispatched. UK tracked post is one to two working days after that, so door to door is usually three to eight working days. UK tracked delivery is free over £55.
