There’s nothing like getting your kink on with a little bondage and I've recently had more interest in collar wearing. I've always loved leather, usually patent leather, but the feel and smell of genuine leather brings out what I call my ‘primal instincts'. As I'm sure many will agree, there's something about having the tables turned (submitting for a change) and getting absolutely ravaged. I'm normally the aggressive partner in relationships but the act of submission is so unbelievably sexy.

A sure fire way to get attention? Get one of these.

The Spartacus Leather Collar is nearly 20 inches of sex kitten strapped around your neck. It's generously sized and it should comfortably fit males as well. I've found that this collar is a little large for my small frame; there are 10 holes in the neckband and when I use the tightest settings the ends of the collar overlap. The collar is actually made from two strips of leather, there's a larger 1.5 inch band on the underside that touches your neck and a second half inch strap that's connected via metal rivets. The D-Ring is placed between the two. The buckle is attached to the outer layer of the collar, versus the inside. I can never decide if overlapping the inner strap to the left side or the right side works better, either way, the slight overhang isn't uncomfortable or distracting.

Wholly Cow... Make that Torino Grade

The leather bands used in this collar are pliable and soft and there are no visible flaws or damages, very high quality...When things get heated it even smells awesome, not like cheap leather.

Hold me back? Heck yeah!

My biggest concern about collars is not so much about looks as it is function and durability. Along with a leather fetish I also love stainless steel and the last thing I want is to have to retire a collar because of metal discoloration (from sweat or cleaning), chipping (from leash clasps), or from leather stains where the dye has bled onto my skin. NONE of which have happened with this collar and believe me, I sweat like crazy! The bondage ring is sturdy and the buckle holds firmly in place while tugging. Cleaning up this collar is a breeze, I don't use anything fancy – I just wipe it down with a damp cloth.

If you're not into the bondage scene and you prefer to use collars as ‘accessories' this collar is equally great for harnessing the “Goth/emo” look, in fact, when I'm not wearing this in the bedroom, I wear it while I'm performing on stage. I've gotten numerous compliments on the collar itself, but I'm most impressed with the durability and the high quality materials from which this collar is made.

The Spartacus Collar is an incredible value - I even think it's a little under priced if you ask me. The bottom line? Get to ordering! This is one super hot item you will not regret purchasing!

My love affair with Spartacus leather continues. This collar looks just as new to this day as the day I first received it!

In fact, as with most quality leather, I feel this has actually gotten better with time. Regular wear seasons leather and makes it even smoother, more manageable, and more comfortable. It fits like a glove. Well done Spartacus!
