Digby \u0026amp; Fox is Shires Equestrian's dog brand, and this is the simplest collar in it: no padding, no rolled edge, no lining, just leather that softens and darkens with wear the way a bridle noseband does.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSize S on Shires' collar guide covers a 32–40cm neck, which is a springer, a small labrador, a border collie or a well-grown cocker. Shires have withdrawn the Flat Leather Dog Collar from their current published Digby \u0026amp; Fox range, so the figures below come from their general collar size guide rather than a product page, and nothing beyond that is claimed here.\u003c\/p\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlat leather strap with a buckle fastening — the plainest collar in the Digby \u0026amp; Fox range.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTan leather, which darkens and takes on a patina with handling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNothing sewn or padded to hold water, so it dries quickly after a wet walk.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow-profile enough to sit under a harness or a coat collar without bunching.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDogs with a 32–40cm neck, on Shires' standard collar guide.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpaniels, collies, smaller labradors and similar mid-sized dogs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEveryday wear and lead walking on a flat lead.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOwners who want plain leather rather than padding, tweed or a rolled profile.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWrong for a dog that swims or works in water every day, and wrong for a long-coated breed that mats under a flat strap — the Digby \u0026amp; Fox Rolled Leather Dog Collar is the better choice for both.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeasure the neck with a soft tape where the collar will sit, and add nothing — the size ranges already allow for fit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuckle it so two fingers slide flat between collar and neck.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWipe clean with a damp cloth and let it dry away from direct heat.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeed it a leather balsam occasionally to stop it drying out and cracking.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCheck the buckle holes and the stitching at the D-ring for wear every few months.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeather collar, tan, size S.
