Pet collar making in Kenya
Adjustable collars with stated materials and fit range
A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE
Fictional maker pilot: sew six prototype adjustable dog collars from 25 mm webbing for a pet shop’s design review. Use two prototype lengths, three each, developed around the hardware maker’s assembly drawing rather than an invented neck-size promise. Each piece has one matched buckle, one adjuster and one designated ring, plus traceable thread and a sample label. This is a prototype quotation; do not release handmade restraint collars for walking until a competent assessor establishes intended use, construction and verification.
