The biggest portion of the collar was rounded stitched leather and the adjustable part was the steel chain - the soft leather was against the dog's skin. At the National they custom fitted the collars to the dogs but if you gave them measurements, they could do the same thing. I bought six of them although I only had three dogs at the time I am with leashes and collars like Imelda Marcos was with shoes I believe the name of the vendor at our National was Nancy Whitworth from MI - maybe they will set up a booth at this year's National.
