Need help with your size? Size Guide

Make your best friend stand out and turn heads at the dog park with a durable, stylish collar. Our durable solid brass collar hardware features a silent ID tag and a no-squeeze collar closure, meaning jams and jangles are a thing of the past.

*Size S in our special light-coat hardware finish has now sold out.
We do have Size S available in natural brass. Natural brass may leave a faint mark on very light coats, but it’s completely harmless and will wash out easily.

**If your dog has white or very light fur, note natural brass hardware can develop a patina over time. It’s part of what makes it beautiful, but it can sometimes leave a faint mark on pale coats (it washes out easily). If you’d rather avoid that, just email us — we have a few light-finish options set aside for you.

    Saddle-strong polyester thread — the kind used in boots, cars, and collars built for life — stitched four times over to reinforce high-stress points and hold strong.

    Presentation matters - Premium packaging with textured brown stock and matte black interior — more timepiece boxing than dog collar. Ready for gifting, even if it's to yourself.

    Streamlined not bulky - No extra bulk, no strap tails — a flush fit that matters more when you’re little.

    PRESENTATION MATTERS

    Textured brown stock, matte black interior — more timepiece than dog collar presentation. Perfect for that one person who has everything and adores their dog more than most people. Not your average unboxing moment. They’ll think you’re a genius. And yes — you’ll be very, very popular.

    SAFETY

    Our collars are designed for quick, easy removal — which we recommend when dogs are indoors, crated, unsupervised, or wrestling with friends.

    While the silent tag removes one hazard, collars can still catch on things you’d never expect: a roller blind chain, a floorboard nail, even another dog’s tooth. If they can’t free themselves, it can become dangerous fast. Always keep an eye on your dog — and when in doubt, take it off.

    EXCLUSIVE WEBBING. BUILT TO LAST.

    Woven just for us using marine-grade Spanish polypropylene yarn — the same used on yachts. It doesn’t absorb water like nylon, so it dries faster, resists mildew, and won’t trap smells. Lighter, softer, and built for harsh conditions. A quick wash, and it’s back to new.

    SOLID BRASS. ZERO MAINTENANCE.

    Our hardware is solid brass—cut, stamped, and polished here in New Zealand using our own registered design. Each piece spends over ten hours being de-burred and polished until perfectly smooth and soft to the touch. Depending whether your pup has dark or light fur we leave the brass untreated for a natural patina over time or apply a final proprietary sealing finish, more commonly used in premium tapware. This step protects light fur from marks, and keeps every collar looking freshly polished with minimal upkeep.

    ENGRAVE TO ENDURE

    Most ID tags are laser-etched on thin aluminium — shallow marks that fade with time. But your dog’s name deserves better.

    Ours are cut from solid 2mm brass and engraved by hand, by a master engraver whose skill has been honed over a lifetime. The result is permanent: deeply carved, unmistakable, and made to last — and be kept.

    5-YEAR GUARANTEE

    Every collar comes with a 5-year guarantee against fading, fraying or failing — though frankly, we expect it to last much longer.

    Built to endure years of daily wear, it’s designed to get better with age - like your best friend. steady, stylish and always up for an outing.

    “Just received Odin's leash and collar, what can I say!! Wow!!
    Gorgeous colours and workmanship, totally worth the investment. Odin is loving the attention.
    Thanks so much. "

    THE STORY BEHIND OUR COLLAR

    Subwoofer began with Monkey — a tiny black-and-tan bandito who stole my heart mid-pandemic. Like most dog people, I wanted only the best for her — but nothing quite got it right. One collar was stylish but seized at the beach, another was practical but soulless.

    So - the subwoofer collar was born, blending what worked, leaving what didn’t, and elevating the rest. Inspired by vintage timepieces and built for daily wear, it’s a collar that rethinks the ordinary: comfortable, quick to release, and quietly beautiful.

    Made in New Zealand, in small batches, with materials and craftsmanship we’re proud of and tested by Monkey herself.

    FAQs

    WHY DO SUBWOOFER COLLARS COST MORE?

    Most 'designer' collars are mass-produced overseas with cheap components, cheap labour, a logo slapped on, and shipped worldwide with big mark-ups. Subwoofer collars take the opposite path.

    Each piece of solid brass hardware spends over ten hours travelling from cutting and stamping to de-burring, polishing, inspection, and a final sealing process that alone costs more than many mass-produced collars — locking in colour and protecting against tarnish for years, not months. Our exclusive webbing is marine-grade, UV-stable, and built to outlast nylon or leather. It won’t fade, fray, stretch, or soak up smells. Lighter, softer, and tougher by design, it’s easy to clean and made to go the distance. Finally, every collar is sewn locally by Auckland craftspeople paid fair Kiwi rates.

    It’s these quiet, deliberate details you notice the moment you pick up a Subwoofer collar.

    WHAT SIZE SHOULD I CHOOSE?

    Check our Size Guide for measurements, fit tips, and breed examples — or get in touch if you’re unsure. Our collars come in three sizes for roughly these weights:

    Tiny — for dogs under 5kg
    Small — for dogs 5–20kg
    Large — for dogs 20–40kg

    WHY DOES HAND ENGRAVING MATTER?

    Because lasers just don’t cut it. Our Master Engraver carves each tag by hand with wider, deeper lettering that won’t fade or rub off. It’s an old-school craft that suits our solid 2mm tags, with enough room for bold, easy-to-read lettering on both sides. Optional, but worth it for charm and clarity.

    WHAT SIGNATURE STRIPE WILL SUIT MY DOG?

    We suggest a coat colour match at the top of each page to help narrow it down — but of course, it’s just a starting point. The best choice is the one you love on your dog.

    WILL IT SURVIVE A SWAMPY PACK WALK?

    Yes — just place it in a washing bag and machine wash with similar colours. The webbing handles it beautifully. The leather tab prefers less frequent washing — once a month is plenty. For heavy wear, consider rotating collars: one for everyday, one for best.
