Premium Martingale Dog Collar Design
Our BioThane® martingale dog collar features a high-quality martingale chain combined with rust-proof solid brass hardware for durability. Customisable with up to two vibrant BioThane® colours, this collar not only offers a unique appearance but also ensures reliable control and comfort. Ideal for training and daily use, it blends style with functionality seamlessly.
Custom Fit: Crafted with a minimalist design, our custom-made BioThane® martingale dog collar merges practicality with tailored comfort. The precisely positioned buckle holes guarantee a perfect fit, and the adjustable buckle makes it easy to put on and take off your dog.
BioThane® Strapping: Handmade using BioThane® strapping—a waterproof alternative to leather—it's also known as vegan leather or faux leather, ensuring durability in any weather. This collar is waterproof, odour-resistant, and easy to clean, making it perfect for outdoor activities and everyday wear.
Silent Nameplate Option: Forget about separate dog tags—opt for our optional hand-stamped nameplate securely attached to the collar using rivets. This 'silent' alternative adds a touch of elegance while providing essential identification. Unlike laser engraving, hand-stamping creates a deeper, more distinctive impression for a personalised look that stands out.
Premium Hardware: The BioThane® strapping is paired with premium British saddlery hardware, including a buckle and loop for secure fastening.
Lasting Investment: Choosing a Kinfolk Leather custom dog collar means you're investing in a piece that showcases your dog's unique personality with timeless style and lasting quality. Our collars are crafted to endure and look great for years. When you’re ready for a fresh look, we can reuse the same high-quality hardware to create a new strap, ensuring your dog’s collar is as sustainable as it is stylish. Kinfolk Leather collars are more than just accessories—they're a smart and enduring investment for your loyal companion.

BIOTHANE®
BioThane® is a brand name for a type of coated webbing that is made by bonding a PVC or TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) coating to a polyester or nylon webbing. This creates a strong, durable, and waterproof material that is easy to clean, lightweight yet resistant to chewing and scratching.
HARDWARE
Premium British saddlery hardware, cast from solid brass and rust-proof. Our hardware has been selected for maximum strength and to ensure our products remain rust-free for life. All hardware is kept securely in place with strong solid brass rivets.
NAMEPLATE
An optional solid brass or stainless steel nameplate can be securely attached to the collar with matching solid brass rivets. Your emergency contact details will be clearly visible, ensuring your dog can be quickly identified if they wander off.
CRAFTSMANSHIP
Each dog collar is meticulously handmade, and our nameplates are hand-stamped. Minor tooling marks or inconsistencies in the stamping enhance the unique charm and human element of your custom dog collar.

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
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
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.
