Went a bit radio silent at the end of last week as I was focusing on finishing up the collar and muzzle projects before travel! Snagged a shot of the collar in the sun and it really shows it off! #furry #leatherwork

Progress from the last two days! Refurb/polish on a fun collar, and then continued working on the new handle collar! Got it all stitched and working on properly fitting the buckle clamshell. Should be nearing completion tomorrow! #furry #leatherwork

Immediately pivoting into the other re-do project, the handle collar! Hammered out a ton of progress on this today. Got the liner fully finished and got the top strap cut, beveled, oiled, sanded and dyed! #furry #leatherwork

This thing put up quite the fight at the finish line; 6 hours of final detail work like grommets, accents and fitment later (along with many re-do's) and it's completed! Need to order one piece of hardware for it (only had nickel on hand) and then do photos! #furry #leatherwork

0122

Bloudog Hardwear @bloudoghardwear.com · 17/09/2026

Yep every piece of hardware is brass! From the buckles to the screw posts to the grommets, nothing is plated--Every bit is full, solid brass. There are even brass friction washers between the pieces that swivel/rotate, to help things glide along and stay consistent!

Bloudog Hardwear @bloudoghardwear.com · 16/09/2026

Finished with this muzzle! It's an absolute beast, and the most complex project I've ever done! There was -so- much to learn with this, from the design to the form to all the small details. There were many new challenges, and I look forward to more like it! #furry #leatherwork

You'll love how this one turns out!

Bloudog Hardwear @bloudoghardwear.com · 16/09/2026

Got everything re-burnished and finished, and the edges coated in Resolene acrylic sealer! I left the muzzle without a sealer as this leather didn't like it and looks much better without. This photo representst about 7 hours of burnishing and finishing! #furry #leatherwork

Bloudog Hardwear @bloudoghardwear.com · 14/09/2026

Lots of progress today! Got the new straps stitched, punched, and detailed. Fitted everything up and got some of the sizing placements for the vertical strap done. Need to finish up doing all the buckle holes on that strap and then it's time for detailed finishing!

Bloudog Hardwear @bloudoghardwear.com · 11/09/2026

Daily project update! Liners being finished up, trimming the excess wrap material and getting everything flat and even. Then worked on putting the finish and final burnish on the collar handle!

094

Bloudog Hardwear @bloudoghardwear.com · 10/09/2026

Daily progress! Tested out some new custom made brass friction washers for the harness, and got 3 rounds of burnishing done on the collar handle! Then finished up the cored liners for the muzzle's replacement straps. #furry #leatherwork

Bloudog Hardwear @bloudoghardwear.com · 08/09/2026

Back to customer projects today! Continuing the re-do on the muzzle straps and while the dye is drying, I turned my attention to this collar handle. So much sanding! Got the handle all put together and biased (tension between the layers so it's stiff) and rounded off, then dyed!

Bloudog Hardwear @bloudoghardwear.com · 04/09/2026

Continued working on some of the details for the harness today! #furry #leatherwork

042

Bloudog Hardwear @bloudoghardwear.com · 04/09/2026

Thank you! Lots of time and effort goes into making sure that there are no exposed cut edges on the liner. It's one of the hallmarks of my work!

Bloudog Hardwear @bloudoghardwear.com · 03/09/2026

Daily progress! Finished up the details on the buckle holes for a collar, experimented with recessing the hardware on the plate for the chest harness and continued work on measuring/shaping the collar handle! #furry #commsopen

052

Bloudog Hardwear @bloudoghardwear.com · 02/09/2026

Got the rest of the buckle holes punched! Working on making a bit of darker patina across the holes, to give a jump-start on the 'well used' effect! It will lighten up as the dye dries, and should blend nicely!

Bloudog Hardwear @bloudoghardwear.com · 01/09/2026

Some shots of the stitching! The channels ended up good, but I would cut them shallower if used on a customer's project. This was a great experiment and makes for a good prototype!

062

Bloudog Hardwear @bloudoghardwear.com · 01/09/2026

Working on posting WIPs more! Progress from today! Got the handle for the collar started, going for a 1.25" width instead of 1" to better match the size and stature of the customer. Then also experimented with how the straps need to work on the harness, plus a shot of the buckle and placement!

Recently finished this beautiful brass-and-brown swivel handle collar, with a cream pigskin cored liner. A classic combination that only continues to get better with age! Features every bell and whistle; double custom strap keepers, a shaped handle, and contrasting stitching throughout!

I’ve got just the thing… Had this fursuit-sized collar custom made by @bloudoghardwear.com specifically for handling dangerous beasts~

A picture of a large leather collar on a coffee table. The collar is made of brown burgundy leather with a cream lining and brass hardware. It has a large handle on it, and a tag that reads “CAUTION.”

A close-up view of the other side of the collar’s tag. This side reads “INTACT.”

I figured that would catch your attention! It was a spur-of-the-moment solution to getting the nosebridge pad anchored down, and it's such a fun addition!

Bloudog Hardwear @bloudoghardwear.com · 20/11/2025

Posting something in-progress here for the first time because I'm so excited about it! A bit halter for @blou.dog's Cariblou, using his antlers and nose-ring piercing as anchors for an actual 5" mouth/6.5" cheek snaffle bit! It's just a rough-in design for now, but I'm excited!

Bloudog Hardwear @bloudoghardwear.com · 27/08/2025

It's absolutely okay to reach out here! I appreciate all the kind words. I'm definitely still making collars! I'm in the process of getting a new website made, so the gallery on my current site is quite out of date. Send me a DM or email if you ever want to talk about a commission! Thanks again!

A finished 4-piece cuff set for @dextershepherd.bsky.social! Features full veg-tan, fursuit-safe construction. Every piece of leather was cut, dyed and finished by hand. Heavy-duty nylon stitching, steel and nickel hardware, and a cored veg-tan natural pigskin liner!

Bloudog Hardwear @bloudoghardwear.com · 23/06/2025

Thanks so much! Yeah it's done on a Cobra Class 4 machine, so I can punch through the thick leather I work with! I still hand stitch smaller and more delicate pieces, but the sewing machine gets a much tighter stitch that better holds multiple layers together.

Bloudog Hardwear @bloudoghardwear.com · 23/06/2025

Finished heavy-duty cuff set! Full veg-tan construction with a cowhide-cored liner wrapped in natural pigskin, royal blue dyed cowhide exterior and strap, steel and nickel-plated hardware with a locking buckle, held together by plenty of hardware and heavy nylon stitching throughout!

4 years later, I've finally made my own collar! It uses all the fursuit-safe methods I've developed until now. Each piece of leather was cut, dyed and burnished by hand, and every piece of brass hardware was polished to a mirror finish, one by one. Find more in my bio links!

A beautiful alligator leather belt that I finished recently! This was my first time working with alligator, and it was an amazing learning experience. The back of the belt is lined in black deer-tan cowhide for extra comfort and strength, while still being soft and flexible!
