Overbuilt for the Lifelong Journey

We’ve curated a specific 9-10 oz. Horween Illini Latigo, an exceptionally thick, heavy-duty hide selected for its immense tensile strength and everlasting durability. This isn't just a collar; it is a piece of heirloom equipment for your most loyal companion.

Most commercial collars use 4-5 oz. leather and plated zinc hardware. We’ve nearly doubled the thickness with 9 oz. Horween Illini Latigo and utilized industrial-grade solid cast brass. These materials usually reserved for professional workwear and bespoke saddlery.

The Materials

• Horween® Illini Latigo: A specialized tannage that combines a chrome tan for strength with a vegetable retain for body. It is remarkably tough and weather-resistant, maintaining its integrity through years of rugged use while developing a deep, seasoned character.
• Solid Cast Brass: Every component—the buckle, the rivets, and the D-ring—is solid cast brass. It will never rust, flake, or fail.
• Artisan Finished: Each collar features hand-waxed and burnished edges for a smooth, refined feel and an old-world aesthetic.
• Fits Neck Size: 17" – 23"
• Width: 1 Inch
• Build: Reinforced with solid brass rivets at all primary stress points.

The Ashland Standard We believe a dog collar should be as permanent as the bond it represents. By combining the world’s finest leather with uncompromising hardware, we’ve created a heritage piece that grows more beautiful with every mile walked.
