Leash and collar match, both 100 percent hand woven cotton, both closed in solid brass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA Violet That Holds Up Outdoors\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePale rope looks best on the day it arrives. A dark violet \u003cstrong\u003ecarries dirt without showing it\u003c\/strong\u003e, which is the practical reason to pick this end of the range if your walks involve mud, gravel or a dog that likes to drag the leash. The color is dyed by hand into the fiber, so it wears rather than chips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpliced And Whipped, Not Glued\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rope end is \u003cstrong\u003espliced back into itself and whipped\u003c\/strong\u003e with thread. That is the traditional marine finish, and it matters because a glued or crimped end is a single point that lets go all at once. A splice degrades slowly and visibly, so you get warning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBrass At Both Ends\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA \u003cstrong\u003esolid brass trigger snap\u003c\/strong\u003e clips to the collar and a \u003cstrong\u003ebrass O ring\u003c\/strong\u003e sits at the handle for waste bags or keys. Solid brass is heavier than plated steel of the same size, which you feel in the hand, and it has no coating to wear off at the hinge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSizing The Violet Collar\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 Royal Violet 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\u003eOne leash length, finished at 5 to 6 feet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTwo Cases Where This Is Not The Right Set\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCotton absorbs water and dries slowly, so a dog that swims most days will be handing you a wet rope every time. And a dog that chews the leash while walking will get through cotton faster than through coated nylon.
