Black Collar Dress Collar for the "Cat About Town"

Here Twitch models a prototype of a white silk Dupioni evening collar from our upcoming Winter Collection. This fashion collection draws from many sources of inspiration, including having too much time on my hands and a recent visit to Daiso where much felt was purchased.

Please excuse the fuzziness of the photography. In a clichéd attempt at authenticity, my model decided to get stoned OUT OF HlS MlND before our photo shoot. The 70's are over, Twitch.




The collar is stitched in a way that makes the "wings" stick out a little from the cat's body. This makes it look more like a real shirt collar.



The back is felt. This gives it body.

This picture shows how the length of the collar is adjustable. This is a prototype, hence the visible stitching. The center piece of Velcro is for my cats´ radio beacon. Cat owners with less advanced obsessive compulsive disorder can attach an ordinary ID tag to the button on the front.
With the Loc8tor I can find them anywhere in the complex. Aliens sound clips - Movie Sound Clips

Gaudy but functional

Triple thickness felt and needle felting. Button and elastic loop closure. Safe, secure and a little tacky. A prototype. (Using up this orange material.)

Cute cat collars




These prototypes are nearly ready to go.

They feature breakaway elastic collar for safety and adjustable Velcro closures for convenient sizing. Twitch's white felt collar picks up too much fur. I'll be using silk Duppioni for those from now on.

An elastic loop attaches the cats tags to the button on the front using two lanyard knots to keep them secure.

These collars were especially made to accommodate an electronic radio beacon. It's hidden behind the collar. The collar is a stylish way to keep your $50 beacon from getting dunked in the water bowl. http://www.loc8tor.com/products.asp
