Master's D/signs Updated Black Leather Collars and Cuffs are made from #1
Grade, 8-10 oz. Black Latigo hides personally selected by us.  Using
'Olde World'
leatherworking tools and techniques we begin the process of transforming these
beautiful hides into items that will give years of service and that you will be proud
to own.

First we slit the hides into 2'' leather straps and trim the ends to your specified size.
Next follows the application of an edge beveling tool to prepare all edges for final
burnishing after dyeing.

The next step in the process involves the location and punching of individual holes
for the Attachment Hardware, custom made Padlock Hasps, and decorative trim
(studs, spikes, etc.) that you have selected for your restraints.  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.

Once the strap has been prepared it is edge dyed with multiple coats of Fiebelings
Leather Dye and allowed to dry thoroughly.

Final assembly involves the use of Double Capped Rivets to secure the Attachment
Hardware and Padlock 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
removes any remaining rough edges that could chafe the wearer as well as give the
restraint that final "finished" look.

An optional matching or contrasting felt lining can then be applied for the wearer's
comfort.
