Introducing the Heritage Wave: A New Limited-Edition Staffordshire Bull Terrier Show Set

We are proud to introduce the Hench Wear Heritage Wave Collar and Lead Set—the first design to feature our distinctive new shaped collar.
Created especially for Staffordshire Bull Terriers, this limited-edition set combines traditional show style with premium leather, exclusive hand-dyed colour and custom-made solid-brass detailing.
A New Heritage Wave Shape
The collar features our new Heritage Wave shape, with gently curved, sculpted sections that frame the decorative brasswork.
At just 5/8 inch wide, it retains the refined appearance of a traditional Staffy show collar while the shaped sections give it a more distinctive and substantial finish.
Exclusive Antique Heritage Oak Brown
Each set is individually hand-dyed in Antique Heritage Oak Brown—a deep, weathered brown with warm oak and bronze undertones.
This exclusive colour was specially developed by our leather artisans and is not a standard shade available elsewhere. Natural variations in the full-grain leather and hand-dyed finish mean that no two sets will ever look completely identical.
Premium Full-Grain Buffalo Leather
We selected premium full-grain buffalo leather for its exceptional strength, durability and natural character.
Unlike leather that has been heavily sanded or corrected, full-grain leather retains its natural surface and distinctive texture. It softens beautifully with use and develops a richer patina as it ages.
The collar has a substantial double-layer construction measuring approximately 8.5 mm thick. Every edge is carefully smoothed and hand-finished for a refined, comfortable finish.
Traditional Vegetable Tanning
The leather is vegetable-tanned using a traditional process involving natural tannins found in plant materials such as bark, leaves and wood.
This slower method produces strong, characterful leather that responds beautifully to hand-dyeing and develops greater depth and individuality over time.
Exclusive Solid-Brass Details
The Heritage Wave set is finished with premium solid-brass fittings, including:
An iconic Stafford knot custom-made exclusively for Hench Wear show collars
Custom-made Celtic-pattern buttons
Decorative solid-brass detailing
A strong solid-brass roller buckle
A solid, non-joined brass D-ring
A matching lead clip and useful O-ring
Our decorative pieces are made from solid brass—not hollow metal—and polished to create their warm heritage finish.
Collar Measurements
Full collar length: 19.5 inches
Collar width: 5/8 inch
Leather thickness: approximately 8.5 mm
Adjustment holes positioned from approximately 14 to 17.5 inches
Because this is a thick, double-layer collar, the hole position is not the same as the finished internal fit.
How to Measure
Fasten your dog’s current collar at its usual comfortable setting and measure around the inside circle of the fastened collar.
Please compare this measurement carefully before ordering. If you are uncertain whether the Heritage Wave will fit your Stafford, contact us before purchasing.
Matching Leather Lead
The coordinating lead is crafted from matching full-grain buffalo leather and hand-dyed in the same exclusive Antique Heritage Oak Brown.
Leather-to-leather length: 42 inches
Full length including fittings: 45 inches
Finished with matching solid-brass fittings
Includes a useful solid-brass O-ring
Created in Limited Numbers
Every Heritage Wave set is professionally handcrafted by skilled leather artisans. The hand-dyed finish, shaped construction and individually fitted brass details require time and specialist workmanship.
We are a family-run business committed to producing distinctive leather goods in limited numbers while following zero-waste manufacturing principles wherever possible.
The Heritage Wave is not designed to look mass-produced. It is created for Stafford owners who appreciate traditional craftsmanship, premium materials and a show set with genuine individuality.
