Craftsmanship and Style
Our BioThane® Trailing Long Line is built for durability and freedom, featuring a simple, streamlined design with a brass clip at one end and a rounded strap finish at the other. With no handle or hardware to catch, this lead is designed to trail smoothly behind your dog, making it ideal for recall training, exploring safely, or giving extra room to roam while staying connected.
Durable Materials
Handmade from BioThane® strapping, a waterproof and robust alternative to leather, this trailing line is designed to withstand the elements and daily use. Easy to wipe clean after muddy adventures, it’s a practical and long-lasting tool for training and outdoor activities.
Practical Design
The lack of a handle makes this line less likely to snag on branches or rough ground, while the rounded end provides a clean, simple finish. Equipped with a solid brass trigger clip, it attaches securely to your dog’s collar or harness. Choose your preferred length to suit your training goals or the freedom you’d like to give your dog.
Strength and Comfort
BioThane® is known for its impressive strength while remaining lightweight and flexible. The 1/2” BioThane® has a break rating of 220kg and weighs 45g per metre, while the 3/4” BioThane® has a break rating of 340kg and weighs 54g per metre—providing reliable performance for dogs of all sizes.
Customise Your Look
Select from a wide range of BioThane® colours to create a trailing long line that suits your dog’s style and stands out during training sessions.
Lasting Investment
Like all Kinfolk Leather leads, this trailing long line is crafted to endure and look great for years. Should you ever wish to refresh it, we can reuse the same premium hardware with a new strap, making it a sustainable and stylish choice 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 lead with matching solid brass rivets. Your emergency contact details will be clearly visible, ensuring you can be contacted if misplaced.
CRAFTSMANSHIP
Every Kinfolk Leather lead is meticulously handmade, with optional nameplates carefully hand-stamped. Subtle tooling marks reflect the authentic, human touch that makes each piece unique.

Is this suitable for your pet?
If your dog needs to be tied up or left unattended for a while, we recommend using a heavy-duty lead made for that purpose, and saving this custom lead for walks and training. While our leads are extremely sturdy, and will withstand forceful tugging, there are determined dogs out there for which any lead is no match!
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.
