It arrives as finished British rope and braid from Sustainable Rope, founded by Kate Drury, a fourth-generation sheep farmer and a British Wool board member. It is graded at British Wool in Bradford, spun in Huddersfield, and woven by hand in Oxford. British farmers are paid properly for their wool, and it is made into a proper British material rather than bought in as the cheapest import. That is not an accident. It is what makes this worth making.
About this piece+
This is what Green Dog does at its best, not choosing between materials, but combining them. British wool woven by hand and BioThane® in considered colours, brought together into something that looks at home on a Cotswold lane or a city pavement.
This is the new Sheep Shed Hybrid range: the craft and texture of The Brampton and The Dingley wool collections, matched to the practical modern material the dog world reaches for daily, BioThane®, but coloured, proportioned, and assembled in a way the pet industry has never quite seen before.
The Brampton Beige pairs the hand-woven Brampton wool collar body with a beige 19mm BioThane® adjustable strap and a hunter green 9mm BioThane® collar keeper. The same Brampton wool as the original Sheep Shed collar, the same Oxford studio, but finished with a strap that handles British weather without asking anything of you.
Fully waterproof BioThane® strap. Wipe-clean. No conditioning. Solid brass buckle and D-ring. An 11mm Green Dog brass disc, hand-stamped by me, sits on the D-ring. Choose 3-row weave for any breed, or 4-row weave for sighthounds (whippets, lurchers, greyhounds) or personal preference.
Pairs with the Brampton Hybrid Lead in Chestnut, designed as a set.

Materials & construction+
Wool weave: Brampton, the charcoal grey wool, hand-woven collar body, made in the Oxfordshire studio. It is undyed. The colour is the colour the sheep grew. My wool braid comes from Sustainable Rope, founded by Kate Drury, a fourth-generation sheep farmer and a British Wool board member. It is graded and baled at British Wool in Bradford and spun at a mill in Huddersfield.
BioThane® strap: Beige 19mm BioThane® BETA, fully waterproof and odour-resistant.
Collar keeper: Hunter green 9mm BioThane®, a contrast accent carried through to the paired hybrid lead.
Hardware: Solid brass roller buckle and D-ring. Twelve-month hardware guarantee.
Weave and sizes: 3-row or 4-row weave, eight sizes from XXS to XXXL. The 3-row weave is 34mm wide and the 4-row sighthound weave is 43mm, both over the 19mm BioThane® strap.
Sizing & fit+
How to measure: Measure the widest point of your dog’s neck and add 2–3cm. If between sizes, size up. Two fingers should sit comfortably under the collar. If the size is not right, message me — size exchanges and amendments are available.
3-row vs 4-row: 3-row is standard width, suitable for all breeds. 4-row is wider, distributing pressure more evenly across the neck. Ideal for sighthounds (whippets, lurchers, greyhounds) or any dog where a broader profile is preferred, or simply as a personal choice.
Available sizes: XXS: 9–11.5″ | XS: 11–13.5″ | S: 13–15.5″ | M: 15–17.5″ | L: 17–19.5″ | XL: 19–21.5″ | XXL: 21–23.5″ | XXXL: 23–25.5″
Changing your mind: Both the weave and the size come off a list I already make and stock, so choosing between them is an ordinary purchase rather than a commission. You keep the full 30 days from delivery to change your mind, where the law asks for 14. If the size turns out wrong, message me — size exchanges and amendments are available. The terms are on my returns page.
Who pays the postage on an exchange: If the error is mine — wrong size made up, wrong weave built — the postage both ways is on me. If the measurement turned out not to suit your dog, the postage each way is yours.
Faulty or damaged: Anything that arrives faulty, damaged or not as described is mine to put right: repair, replacement or refund, with the postage covered.
Care & durability+
Wool weave: The wool is untreated, which is what gives it the handle. It also means it will felt if it gets wet and worked, so do not wash it. Let mud dry completely and brush it out with a soft brush.
BioThane® strap and keeper: Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Rinse under running water after heavy mud. Fully waterproof and odour-resistant, no conditioning needed.
Hardware: Solid brass, wipe clean. Will develop a natural patina over time. Covered by Green Dog's twelve-month hardware guarantee.
Not machine washable: The BioThane® is wipe-clean and the brass is fine, but the wool is untreated and will felt if it gets wet and worked. So the collar as a whole is not a washable one: wipe the BioThane®, and let mud dry on the wool and brush it out.
Wool is the one material here that genuinely gets better. Customers who have had these pieces for years tell me they have improved with use, not worn out.
Questions & answers+
What is the difference between this and the leather Brampton collar? The strap. Same Brampton wool, same hand weaving, same studio, but a beige BioThane® strap instead of leather. BioThane® is waterproof, wipes clean and needs no conditioning. Leather needs looking after and rewards it.
Is the collar waterproof? The strap and the keeper are. The wool panel is untreated British wool, so it is not. It copes with wet weather and dries naturally, but it must not be washed: let mud dry on it and brush it out.
Should I choose 3-row or 4-row? 3-row is standard and suits any breed. 4-row is wider and distributes pressure across more of the neck, which is why it is the usual choice for whippets, lurchers and greyhounds. Some people simply prefer the broader look.
Does BioThane® smell or hold onto mud? No. It is odour-resistant and non-porous. Mud comes off with a damp cloth or a rinse under the tap.
