Fancy padded collar! This one is an updated version of a previous geometric design of mine. It's got a gold base layer showing through a black top strap with a geometric cut-through design, and a soft black rolled-edge liner.

The main difference the commissioner wanted here was the D-ring with integrated O-ring. I hadn’t had a chance to use them before, they jingle in a really satisfying way.

The main difference on my end was splitting the top strap into two pieces, which let it fit into my laser cutter cleanly instead of needing weird workarounds. Also, bridging the D-ring with a small separate piece actually seems to work more cleanly than bending the top strap over it. (And I got to fix a lot of fit/size and material/finishing issues from the original one. The differences are hard to see, but trust me, it’s way better.)

Main straps are 9-10 oz vegetable-tanned leather, liner is 4 oz chrome-tanned leather. Strap details are laser-cut, then they get trimmed, dyed, burnished and finished by hand. Stitching is also all hand-done. Top strap is 1″ wide, total width 2″.
