Leash and collar match, both 100 percent cotton, both finished in solid brass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eEvery Color On One Rope\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rainbow is dyed rather than printed, which matters because dye goes through the fiber while print sits on top of it. Print abrades off a rope at the points that drag on pavement. \u003cstrong\u003eDyed cotton keeps its color down to the core\u003c\/strong\u003e, so a scuff shows as wear rather than as a bald patch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Hand Dyeing Does To A Rainbow\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause each length passes through the dye by hand, the width of each color band shifts a little from one rope to the next. \u003cstrong\u003eNo two of these are identical\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the one you receive will not match the photograph band for band. That is worth knowing before you order rather than after.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Hardware Carries The Load\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA leash fails at its fittings long before it fails in the middle. This one uses a \u003cstrong\u003esolid brass trigger snap\u003c\/strong\u003e with no plating to wear off the pivot, and the rope end is \u003cstrong\u003espliced and whipped\u003c\/strong\u003e so the strands lock into one another rather than depending on a crimped collar. A \u003cstrong\u003esecond brass ring at the handle\u003c\/strong\u003e holds waste bags or keys.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eNeck Measurements Before You Choose\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe maker's own warning is worth repeating: these collars run small.\u003c\/strong\u003e Measure the neck with a soft tape, allow two fingers of room, and choose from the measured figure rather than from the size your dog usually wears.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ccaption\u003eCollar neck fit for the Classic Rainbow cotton rope collar\u003c\/caption\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eSize\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eNeck fits\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eSmall\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15 to 18 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMedium\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17 to 21 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eLarge\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20 to 24 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe leash is a single length, finished at 5 to 6 feet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho Should Skip This One\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA dog that mouths its leash on the move will fray cotton faster than nylon. Cotton also soaks up water and takes hours to dry, so this is not the set for a dog that swims on most walks. Necks under 15 inches sit below the smallest collar here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWashing Without Dulling The Color\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHand wash in mild soap and cool water and line dry, out of direct sun where you can.
