All products are made from marine grade rope, with breaking strengths of well over 3,000lb. The rope is durable, weather and water resistant and long lasting. The rope is made from polyester/nylon and is tougher and more abrasion resistant than 100% cotton leashes on the market. The splices are sturdy hand-tied with (5 tucks) using a historical technique used by sailors. All products are extremely durable and suitable for all situations particularly around salt water and sandy beach conditions.

The hardware is high-quality marine grade solid bronze, it does not rust, even with regular contact with salt water. The brass may tarnish over time and exposure to salt water. This does not affect the functionality, but a quick polish with a product like Never Dull® or a combination of lemon juice and baking soda can bring the shine back.

All of my standard colors are listed online here, occasionally I do have some few leashes in other colors (see products page). My colors are limited to those used in the marine industry. Please contact me if you have a particular request.

Standard length of all leashes is 5ft. But as leashes are typically made to order different lengths can easily be accommodated.

The bronze ring attached to handle is versatile for poop bags, keys, or to clip the leash to itself over your shoulder when your dog is playing off the leash.

Please see our sizing guide

All leashes and collars are hand-made by myself in Jamestown, Rhode Island from locally sourced and produced materials.

Custom orders are always welcome. I enjoy working with customers to design their perfect and practical leashes and collars. Past customizations have included; Various lengths from 1-25 ft, Multiple Dog Couplers for 2, 3 or even 4 dogs, Stainless Steel Clips, Horse Lead Ropes, Herding and training leashes, Wall and crown knots, or extra handles, for closer control.

We melt our leashes at the perfect length so that after a little bit of use, the rope ends-blend into the splice, but not so close that it comes untucked easily with use.

Fair Leads are made from high-quality, marine-grade rope which is relatively hard to chew through compared to other leashes. But replacements are not offered if your dog chewed through the leash. If your dog is a chewer I would recommend spraying your leash with a bitter apple deterrent spray while they are in training.

Under normal use, all products have a lifetime warranty on craftsmanship and materials.
