A CLOSER LOOK
Canvas, leather, webbing or rope. A little knowledge makes choosing feel simpler.
A woven fabric with a familiar, textured look. Check the fibre content, lining and care instructions; canvas is a construction, not a promise of water resistance.
Compare the weave, lining, strap width and fastening. Ask for the fibre composition and exact cleaning instructions, including how to dry the item.
A material with a distinct grain and feel. Check its type, finish, lining and supplier-approved care; leather and coated synthetic alternatives are different materials.
Look for a clear description of the leather and finish. Check the reverse, edges and hardware in real photographs. Use only the care method recommended for that item.
Flat woven straps used across collars, leads and harnesses. Compare the fibre, width, adjustment and fastenings rather than choosing on colour alone.
Look closely at the stitching, adjustment range and points of attachment. Compare strap width and item weight alongside the product-specific measurements.
A rounded or braided construction often used for leads. Compare diameter, length, handle and clip details, with care guidance for the specific fibres.
Check the full length, diameter, handle and clip size. Consider how the handle feels in your hand, and follow the stated use and care instructions.
Texture illustrations are a guide to the look and feel. Check the composition and care instructions of each actual product.
