I purchased this item a few months ago; I wanted to take some time to test it out before I committed to writing a review. This collar is great, I love how soft the fur is, I can’t stand the feel of bare leather on my skin so the feel of fur wrapping around my entire neck is wonderful, I usually can’t sleep in collars but when I put this on and went to bed I slept through the night and work up forgetting I was wearing it’s that comfortable. The locking feature is a nice option to have for scenes that might want to be carried out for longer term or for those who take things off in their sleep like my self so it’s nice to know that it’s comfortable and not going anywhere. I would recommend this collar to beginners wanting a nice soft collar to experiment with and for those who are more seasoned and want something for a long term arrangement or just something for casual wear around the house.
