Rouge Garments Purple Padded Collar

A padded collar in solid purple full-grain leather from Rouge Garments, the long-standing UK leather workshop. Solid purple rather than the black-and-purple trim version in the line: padded through the band, finished cleanly. A welded D-ring at the front takes a tether, leash or scene attachment.

The construction is the workshop standard: a buckle fastening with multiple holes for fine adjustment, bonded edge stitching, hardware soldered closed rather than split. The padding runs the full length of the band so weight distributes evenly across the neck rather than concentrating at the buckle. The 16.5 inch band suits most adult necks; set the fit so two fingers slide between collar and throat (the standard safe spacing).

Standard leather care: wipe down after wear, condition with leather balm two or three times a year, store flat. The piece outlasts the rest of a typical kit.
