Leash and collar match, both 100 percent cotton, both finished in solid brass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFour Pastels On A Single Length\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe colors are laid into the fiber by hand, one after another, which is why the transitions blur instead of butting up against each other. \u003cstrong\u003eDye reaches the core of the cotton\u003c\/strong\u003e, so where the rope scuffs on pavement it shows as wear rather than as a stripe of bare white.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCotton That Softens Rather Than Stiffens\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is \u003cstrong\u003e100 percent hand woven cotton rope\u003c\/strong\u003e, and it behaves the opposite way to coated nylon: it loosens and softens with handling instead of setting into a stiff curve. The working end is \u003cstrong\u003espliced and whipped\u003c\/strong\u003e, so the strands are locked into each other rather than held by a glued sleeve that can let go without warning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSolid Brass Trigger Snap And Ring\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe snap is \u003cstrong\u003esolid brass, not plated\u003c\/strong\u003e. Plating always fails first at the pivot, which is the part carrying the dog. Brass has nothing to lose there, so it ages to a patina you can polish back. A \u003cstrong\u003ebrass O ring at the handle\u003c\/strong\u003e takes waste bags, keys or a light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMacaron Collar Sizing\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 Macaron 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\u003e12 to 16 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMedium\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16 to 20 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eLarge\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20 to 26 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe leash is one length, finished at 5 to 6 feet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eNot Built For Water Or Chewers\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePastels show dirt sooner than a dark rope, and cotton holds water for hours, so a dog that swims on most walks is better served by something synthetic.
