Richmond Hound · Field Notes
Our Craft
Richmond Hound pairs a British-local point of view with restrained, softer luxury cues: supple full-grain bovine leather, a soft dog-contact lining, rounded edges, quiet debossing and warm satin-brass hardware.
Materials and construction
- Full-grain bovine leather with no rough flesh exposed at the dog-contact surface.
- Rounded, sanded, coloured, burnished and sealed edges.
- Roller or prong buckles proportioned to each collar width.
- Secure D-rings and a satin-brass swivel snap with smooth spring and swivel action.
- Bonded polyester stitching with reinforcement at load-bearing points.
- A 1.2 metre lead with a folded handle and optional accessory D-ring.
Controlled tolerances
Width ±0.5 mm; overall collar length ±3 mm; hole spacing ±1 mm; centre-hole circumference ±2 mm; leather thickness ±0.2 mm; D-ring and logo position ±2 mm; lead length ±10 mm. Hardware colour is matched to an approved physical master sample.
Five-stage quality control
