Hugo Leather Dog Collar

Available from 14th November 

The Hugo is a handmade black leather dog collar made in Western Australia — a clean, contemporary collar built from full grain Italian vegetable tanned leather and solid stainless steel hardware.The leather is belt quality — dense, durable, and chosen specifically for its ability to hold its shape and develop character with daily wear. The solid stainless steel roller buckle, D ring and threaded screws won't rust, won't tarnish, and won't wear through over time.

A few details worth noting. The leather is tapered at the buckle end to reduce bulk where the strap overlaps — it sits flatter and feels less chunky on the dog’s neck. The edges are hand finished and polished with beeswax, which seals them against moisture and gives a clean, considered look. Each adjustment hole is also sealed to minimise moisture intrusion and protect the leather from the inside out. These are the kinds of details that don’t show up in a product photo but make a difference over years of daily wear.

Size guide

Measure your dog’s neck loosely with a tape measure, then add 2–3cm for comfort. If your dog falls between sizes, size up. The Hugo has four adjustment holes spaced 2cm apart, so the fit is precise and there’s less strap end hanging free. It’s designed to be worn on the middle holes.

Care

Wipe with a dry or barely damp cloth. Apply a small amount of leather conditioner if the collar looks dry or has lost its suppleness. If the collar gets wet — or your dog takes it for a swim — remove it when you get home and allow it to dry naturally in the shade. Do not use heat. Apply a leather conditioner once completely dry. Do not immerse in water intentionally. Wipe the stainless steel hardware with a dry cloth to keep its clean finish.

Cooper and Hugo

Henry and Wilde makes two leather dog collars — each with a distinct hardware character.

• Cooper — full grain Italian veg tan leather in tan or dark brown, solid brass centre bar buckle and hardware. Warm, classic, ages to a rich antique tone over time.
• Hugo — full grain Italian veg tan leather in black, solid stainless steel roller buckle and hardware. Clean, contemporary, stays consistent over time.
