Is the strip over the padding real leather? We bought a "leather" collar elsewhere, and the strip peeled within two weeks. Turned out to be pleather.

I've had the collar for 6 months on my very active, water loving and mud loving lab and its definitely passed the test on quality. the leather still looks great and it still has the faint smell of leather which was very definite when I first received it.

It is leather on leather. The collar has been abused as far as getting soaked in both salt and fresh water and has held up quite well.

hmmm... I cant say for sure that it real leather or not, but it is of high quality material and certainly looks/feels like it. My dog has been wearing this for 6 months and it has not peeled. But, he is also a pug and very lazy so not much activity going on with him :-) Hope that helps!

I've used this collar hard and sometimes in water. It's real leather and hold up really well. I do oil it occasionally. I love this collar.

Hi, yes the leather over the padding is real leather. It's fairly thick and nice quality as well. We are still very pleased with the collar.

Yes it is however we switched to the Perri's solid leather collar because the padding was a little thick and our lab could slip the collar. The solid leather worked better, seems stronger, & I think looks better

No it is not Leather. Had mine for two years and the vinyl outer layer is peeling off of the cotton backing and now looks like crap.

Because of the thickness of the leather, it may seem rather snug at first. Keep in mind there are laces on both sides to give you flexibility to make it as tight or as loose as your preferences. Although the arm openings fit right under your armpit, the sizes runs true, not larger or smaller. The collar allows enough room to pull a flannel/dress shirt collar through it. Also remember that leather will relax after wearing for longer periods of time. I personally like to break my biker leathers in like a baseball glove by putting generous coats of "virgin olive oil" on it to moisturize it and soften it up before wearing it. I let it sit it an open area until the oil soaks into the leather and it looks dry again. I repeat this process as mentioned 4-5 times to properly preserve/hydrate the hide. You can also remove the armor piece for a lesser binding fit which I did because I'm pondering putting a patch on it. Kinda got a lil' "type happy" on you & I'm still not sure if I gave you the answer you were seeking. Lemme know if this info is helpful or not.

Mine lasted a lot of hours. one hour every day for about a week or two. Keep in mind there is no warning when charge on collar is about to expire so be prepared.

Sorry for the delay. It's great! I have another which is not fabric, like this one and it's not the best on leather. I prefer this one better. It really protects your dog in the event you need to brake suddenly. I highly recommend it.

We ended up returning ours, so I can't say whether or not it was real or bonded, but it did not look like real leather. The company was good about the return however as the material was damaged during shipment. It wasn't at all what I was expecting it to look like unfortunately.

It's not plastic or fabric. I can't say that it is pure leather -- "Pleather" might be a more accurate description. At any rate, it does not appear cheap.

It's just a fabric backing--nothing that would harm leather. HOWEVER, this does not stay put on my corduroy furniture, so would slip around even more on leather. I finally got so tired of it that I took it off altogether. Now I just put a very bit sofa pillow on my chair when I am not sitting on it and that seems to discourage our dog from getting on it.

This is not the one you want!Go find one made of real leather at a flea market somewhere.Seriously!You do want something durable, right?!

Hey Daphanaz, not sure if it real leather or not but it has not flaked and it sturdy as heck. I weigh over 300 lbs and it holds me with no problem. We love it!

I would definitely say that it is not real leather, but it is of good quality. We use ours every day (up and down all day) and it still looks and feels great. No tears or rips at all and is very comfortable. We are very happy with it. HTH!

I just got mine and I dont think so. Its nice, seems well made but, leather I dont think so. No smell, doesnt spot with water, mink oil sits on it and doesnt soak in and the edges are way to nice for leather. Not to mention the liner. Its made to look like suede. That would be over kill with real leather. Then there is the price. It would be a Class A knock-off in one of those places. Just my two cents. I'll still keep it. The fit is nice and that is more important.

I think it's a pleather--protein leather. Supposedly holds up better than conventional leather. You should also try the Martin Logan Mikros 90--BEST portables IMHO.

I do not think it's real leather. Already tearing. Just got it in February.

I have not had an issue with that, and the dog we are using the DAP collar with has been wearing one for ten months now. I realize every dog is different, but I would definitely check your Vet.

It's real leather... They use a different environmental friendly way of treating the leather. I've had mine for over a year. I use it for my tattoo portfolio and it's viewed daily. Do far it's held up well

I am not sure. It doesn't look cheap like most imitation leather items do. I thought it said it was leather when I purchased it. It looks nice, I think you'd be pleased with it.
