We use 3-4mm thick leather in black, tan, chocolate or red.
Below you can find out a little more about the individual qualities of each colour leather:
Black Leather - really long lasting and strong.
Tan Leather - will age beautifully as worn & the colour will deepen with time. Super strong.
Chocolate Leather - strong & beautifully rich in colour – looks amazing on brindle dogs.
Red Leather - bright and fun, may not last as long as the natural veg tanned colours.

It is important to note that leather is a naturally dyed material. It can behave in a similar way to a new pair of dark denim jeans that turn your hands and legs blue on first wearing. Leather is a natural product and some colour transference can happen on initial wearing but should soon stop.

Our trigger hooks, O rings and studs are all made in solid brass. The silver finish versions are nickel plated solid brass.

Our studs are exclusively handmade for us – each stud is individually hand punched from a sheet of solid brass, then the rivet backs are individually welded on by hand. We use brass because it is strong and will not break. The silver colour versions are nickel plated. All studs have brass backs for a hypoallergenic finish.

Before leaving our workshop the lead has been treated with Neatsfoot oil to protect against water. Ideally we recommend treating this lead as you would a pair of leather shoes – it may not last as long if not looked after. Ideally remoisturise with saddle soap or Neatsfoot oil every now and then.

The Creature Clothes Classic Leather Dog Lead is a little over 1m in length.

Our leads tend to last for many years – often a lifetime. If the lead is in need of some TLC we offer a collar service for £20 (inc postage back to you) where we will replace all rivets or missing studs and clean and treat the leather.

Our collars and leads are guaranteed for 6 months from date of purchase against breakage or loss of studs.
