A Martingale Collar with Craftsmanship at its Core
This leather martingale collar combines a premium martingale chain with a solid brass buckle and flat loop to keep the strap sitting neatly in place. You can choose up to two of our premium leather colours for a personalised look that suits your dog’s personality. It’s a stylish yet practical choice — perfect for training, walking, or everyday wear.
Built to Last
Every custom dog collar we make is crafted from Italian vegetable-tanned leather — strong, beautiful, and designed to soften over time while developing a natural patina. Dyed through with non-toxic, water-based dyes, this leather is both safe and stunning, holding up to the challenges of daily use.
Comfortable & Custom-Fitted
We take time to round, smooth, and seal every edge by hand to ensure a comfortable fit for your dog. The precisely spaced buckle holes and adjustable brass buckle make it easy to get the sizing just right — and to take on and off without fuss.
Optional Silent Nameplate
Add an optional hand-stamped nameplate to your leather dog collar for a quieter, more secure way to display your contact details. Riveted in place and deeply stamped by hand, these nameplates won’t wear off over time like laser engraving can — they’re made to be seen and last.
A Sustainable, Long-Term Choice
Choosing a Kinfolk Leather custom dog collar means investing in a piece that balances style, function, and longevity. When your dog's collar is ready for a refresh, we can reuse your existing brass hardware and fit it with a brand new strap — helping you reduce waste and extend the life of your favourite dog gear.

Each collar is crafted to fit the dog that will wear it. Please see our Size Guide if you need help choosing a suitable width. The length will depend on the neck circumference of your dog.

NAMEPLATE
If you would like a nameplate added, your dog's details will be hand-stamped and clearly seen on the solid brass or stainless steel nameplate. The standard placement of the nameplate is on the side of the collar. However, if you would like a different placement just let us know - we can attach it wherever you like.

Is this suitable for your pet?
Martingale collars must only be used when your dog is being supervised. They are traditionally used for dogs that slip out of regular collars, as the chain tightens up behind the ears when a dog is pulling on the lead. The tightness of the collar is limited by the two dee rings, and it is very important to size the collar so that at its tightest it is firm but not choking the dog. If you do not have experience with a martingale collar we recommend you consult a dog trainer or consider our traditional flat leather collars.
The weight of the chain means this leather martingale collar is best suited to medium or large dog breeds.
Any dog collar, regardless of material, should be periodically checked and well maintained, ensuring that it remains strong, safe and fit for purpose.
Collar Width
Collar Width
Not sure what width collar your dog needs? Here’s a simple guide to help you choose the best fit for your dog — whether you’re after a soft puppy collar or something sturdy for a strong puller. We’ve included recommendations for both our leather and BioThane® ranges so you can pick a width that’s comfy, practical, and looks great too.
Leather Dog Collars:
As a general guide, we recommend that if your dog’s neck circumference is:
- Less than 22cm (8.5”) or a puppy under 3 months old, choose a soft leather puppy collar.
- 22 - 28cm (8.5 - 11”), choose a 1/2” leather collar.
- 28 - 34cm (11 - 13”), choose a 3/4” leather collar.
- 34 - 41cm (13 - 16”), choose a 1” leather collar.
- 41 - 48cm (15 - 19”), choose a 1 1/4” leather collar.
- 48cm (19”) and larger, choose a 1 1/2” leather collar.
BioThane Dog Collars:
The BioThane range comes in widths of 1/2”, 3/4”, and 1”. Because Biothane is stronger than leather, these widths are suitable for a wider range of neck sizes. When choosing a width, you can focus more on the look you prefer and the comfort of your dog, as the strength will be adequate regardless of the size.
- 1/2” Biothane Collar: Suitable for necks up to 35cm (14”).
- 3/4” Biothane Collar: Suitable for necks from 28cm (11") - 40cm (16").
- 1” Biothane Collar: Suitable for necks from 35cm (14") and beyond. This width is highly recommended for most medium and large dog breeds.
General Tips:
- Wider collars are stronger, so please consider this when selecting the width. For example, do not use a 1/2” collar for a medium-sized dog; choose at least a 3/4” collar or larger.
- For medium-sized breeds and larger dogs, especially those that have a habit of pulling on the lead, we highly recommend choosing one of our D-End Dog Collars. These collars provide an additional layer of leather to pull against when attaching a lead to the dee ring, offering extra strength and durability to handle stronger pulling.
How To Measure
How To Measure
Getting the size right means a better fit and a more comfortable collar for your dog or cat. Here's how to measure your pet’s neck so we can make their collar just right — plus tips for growing puppies.
How to Measure For A Dog Collar
We strongly suggest providing an accurate measurement when placing your order. If you follow the instructions below, this will allow us to make a collar for your dog that will fit him/her well.
1. Using a soft tape measure, record the circumference of the neck at the point where a collar would naturally lie.
2. Pull the tape so that it is snug but not tight. Record the measurement.
3. Enter this measurement in the personalisation text box when prompted. This measurement will be the middle hole of the collar, we will add at least another two holes either side.
Puppies - If your dog is a puppy, please let us know and we will make an allowance for growth when sizing the holes for the collar. Please feel free to give us a range (up to 12cm, i.e. 24-36cm) so that we can make sure there are enough holes to suit your dog's growth. We can be very flexible with the number of holes provided in the collar.
How to Measure For A Cat Collar
1. Using a soft tape measure, record the circumference of the neck at the point where a collar would naturally lie.
2. Pull the tape so that it is snug but not tight. Record the measurement.
3. Enter this measurement in the personalisation text box when prompted.
