Master's D/signs Laminated Metallic Leather Collars and Cuffs begin as 2 1/2" straps of #1 Grade, 6-7 oz. Undyed Cowhide personally selected by us.  After cutting them to your approximate dimensions we use classic leatherworking tools and 'Olde World' techniques to begin the process of transforming raw leather into items that will give years of service and that you will be proud to own. After slitting the Cowhide we then cut 2 1/2" strips of the 2-3 oz. Metallic Leather from a hide. Next, these two straps are laminated together using Industrial Contact cement. Following a thorough curing of the Contact cement, the laminated strap is cut to a 2" width and individual holes for the custom made Padlock Hasps, Attachment Hardware and decorative trim (studs, spikes, etc.) that you have selected for your restraints are then punched.  All Dee and O-Rings as well as the custom made Padlock Hasps are welded steel. All hardware and trim components are heavy duty Nickel Plated.   Two adjustment holes are then punched for the Padlock Hasps to protrude through. The first hole will make the restraint fit snugly to the appendage to which it is attached while the second will allow for the wearer to have gloves or tight fitting boots on. Additional edge treatments are then applied which give Master's D/signs restraints their unique appeal. Final assembly involves the use of Double Capped Rivets to secure the hardware attachment tabs and Hasp which are riveted in place by hand, not by machine. Your selected trim is then applied and a final edge burnishing is performed that finishes your restraint with no rough edges to chafe the wearer. An optional matching or contrasting felt lining can then be applied for the wearer's comfort.
