How to Measure Your Dog
A well-fitted collar keeps your dog safe and comfortable.
Step 1: Measure
Wrap a flexible tape measure around your dog's neck where the collar will sit (mid-neck, not at the base).
Step 2: Add Comfort Space
Slide two fingers flat under the tape measure. This ensures room for comfort without being too loose.
Step 3: Record
Note the measurement in inches, including the finger space.

Everything else
The making of itThe story behind the piece, and why we chose it
There is something quietly satisfying about a dog who wears their kit well: the collar sitting just right against a thick winter coat, the lead moving with them rather than against them. This set from Cub & Grey is built for exactly that moment, whether it is a muddy field in January or a Sunday morning stroll through town.
Made by hand in a small workshop in Worcestershire, each collar and lead is cut from the same batch of British bridle leather, meaning the grain, colour, and finish match perfectly from clip to tip. The hardware is solid brass or nickel-plated steel, chosen for weight and longevity rather than appearance alone, and every stitch is placed by hand at a consistent tension that a machine simply cannot replicate.
British bridle leather is a slow-tanned, waxy hide that grows more supple and characterful with every outing, outlasting cheaper alternatives by years rather than months. Because each piece is cut and finished individually, no two sets are identical, and during busier periods lead times extend as the team works through orders one at a time.
Why we chose this
Cub & Grey prove that the finest dog kit does not need to shout: same-batch leather, hand-stitching, and solid cast hardware from an Worcestershire workshop that takes its time.

CareCleaning and everyday care
Caring for Your Leather
Our products are crafted from premium British bridle leather - a natural material that develops a beautiful patina over time. With proper care, your collar or lead will last for years.
Cleaning
For everyday dirt and mud:
- Use a barely damp cloth to wipe the surface
- Lay flat and allow to dry naturally
- Never scrub or soak
Important: Never use direct heat (radiators, hairdryers, or direct sunlight) to dry leather. Heat makes leather brittle and can cause cracking.
Water Exposure
If your leather gets wet:
- Wipe off excess moisture with a soft cloth
- Allow to air dry naturally at room temperature
- Once dry, apply leather balm to restore suppleness
After saltwater (beach or sea):
- Rinse immediately with a damp cloth to remove salt residue
- Salt is corrosive, so removing it quickly prevents damage
- Allow to dry naturally, then condition
Conditioning
Regular conditioning keeps leather soft and extends its life.
We recommend:
- Apply a natural leather balm every few months
- More frequently if the leather looks dry or feels stiff
- Use products made from natural ingredients (beeswax, oils)
Benefits of conditioning:
- Maintains suppleness and flexibility
- Reduces visible marks and scratches
- Enhances water resistance
- Develops a rich, deep patina
Colour Transfer
Our leather is naturally dyed using traditional vegetable tanning methods. This means:
- Colours may transfer to light-coloured fabrics if the leather is saturated
- This is a characteristic of high-quality, naturally-dyed leather
- To prevent transfer, ensure leather is fully dry before contact with fabrics
Storage
- Store in a cool, dry place
- Avoid plastic bags (leather needs to breathe)
- Keep away from direct sunlight to prevent fading

We LOVE Cub & Grey!!! In fact we love them so much we have a collar in every colour with leads to match including the 3m long hands free/ training lead. Exceptional quality and beautifully crafted collars and leads that get attention and comments wherever we go. They look stunning and fit so well. Mia is certainly the most stylish dog in the park- if only I looked as good!!Mia London, UK
We have two collars and absolutely love the quality. As a pretty chunky chap, Cub & Grey were able to fit an extra hole to make sure the collars fitted perfectly. Not only are they the perfect fit, but when on our adventures, the collars withstand all sorts extreme play, climbing, rolling and exploring, whilst still looking gorgeous!Otto Cheltenham, UK
