If you wear gloves or don't mind a rough feeling leash then this will work for you. It is very thick leather with what appears to be a sturdy clasp.
I returned this item after our first walk today.
** Not sure if the other reviewer got the same leash I did because this is not soft in any sense of the word. **Hamiliton is one of the few places you can still get really good leather leads. One of the last places that you can get stitched and back braided leads. Their price is very reasonable for a lead that should last you 15 to 20 years. We work with big high drive dogs and a good leather lead without rivets is a must.I was looking forward to receiving and using this leash, as I remember Hamilton products as being pretty good. I was disappointed. It's supposed to be black, and instead is sort of a mottled greenish black. I tried lightly oiling the leather, thinking that would help, but it didn't. Also, one section of the leather is thinner and stretchier than the rest. Not only does it look bad, it will not stand up to a dog that pulls, as mine does. The snap is the right color and weight, and looks good.
I would return the item, but probably can't, due to having tried oiling it to even up the color and condition it...not to mention the hassle. I will probably just donate it to the local animal shelter.I just love it. It is just the right width for small hands. It fits right into my purse so I always have it. I would recommend it to anyone.Got what I expected, accurate description. Great option instead of nylon lead.. love the way a leather lead feels in your hand.
