Okay so this is a really weird thread.

I'm thinking of getting Finn a nice leather collar soon, probably around Christmas. Probably a Paco collar, but I'm open to other suggestions as well. The only thing is, I have NO eye for design or color choices, and I have no idea what would look good on him. Part of the reason I have been so reluctant is because I have terrified of ordering a $150 collar, and putting it on him only to realize it completely clashes with him :eek:

So, folks with good fashion sense...what color/style do you think would look good with his coat color? Leather color, concho color, and width are the biggest things I'm having trouble deciding on. I think pattern is more what I like, as opposed to what would look good on him.

How he looks in different collar sizes/colors, at different angles.









Thanks to anyone who fulfills this ridiculous request :rofl1:

Oh fun thread!!! I recently just ordered our first fancy/expensive collar (a Karma Collar) and have been waiting on it for a few weeks now. I'm so excited about collars now, it's a bit ridiculous :eek:

What size is he again, and are the collars pictured all 1" collars?

Ooh I really like the one you're getting Trent. Finn couldn't pull that off, but I'm sure your boy will look great in it!

And I KNOW, collar shopping is so freaking fun. And addicting. Too addicting.

The green biothane collar looks bigger to me than the nylon ones, but I'm prettttyyyy sure they're all 1''. And Finn weighs about 52 lbs, and is 21'' at the shoulder, if I measured correctly.

Ohhh I LOVE collars! I'm not the greatest when it comes to 'picturing' on my own dog either. I can find collars I LOVE online or on other dogs but I just don't think I'd like on Jackson or for my own dog. And then I sell them or give them away lol. I got an Ella's Lead with a 'fancy' colored leather and rhinestones on it, and it was just... too much for me/jax. I didn't like putting it on him in public - felt it was too 'showy' or flashy.

Finn, I personally think would look FAB in tan leather. I'm leaning towards silver hardware vs. brass.

Maybe something like this?

or this?

... or this?

BUT I don't know, you may be into a bit more blingy than I am.

If you get a collar with maybe a few rhinestones on it, I would definitely say green or a light blue/turquoise type color.

I think this collar is super cute too! http://www.pacocollars.com/product/the-bowtie/

Agree that tan leather would look great! My go to for Trent is black leather, so that's what I tried to imagine at first, but tan's definitely better IMO. Maybe brown, too? I wish I could see how the tan leather stood against Finn's coat color! Also really like the way brass would look, as opposed to silver.

I don't know your tastes but I think I keep wanting to pick pretty collars because Finn's such a pretty dog LOL Sorry if you don't like bling! I like the Rebel one from Karma Collars that Jackson'sMom linked to. And just looking around the websites, these are also my picks

I really like this Karma Collar with the turquoise -

Or this one, with blue stones. Might be too "pretty"? -
http://karmacollars.com/collections/view-all/products/the-cruz

Without stones, but still blingy -

annnnnd, my personal new favorite collar -

And these are my favorite Paco Collars for him. Again, I really like tan or chocolate and brass hardware, personally.

blue rhinestones -

same geometric pattern but without the stones

I think chocolate would look fabulous or maybe a dark green. I'd definitely go with dark colors rather than light plus I'd go a little wider than the green one you show as he has a lovely sleek long neck.
