The Perro Collection H-Harness is a leather dog chest harness, also known as a Y-harness, handcrafted in our own atelier in Tuscany, Italy, in two and a half to four hours. It distributes pressure evenly across the chest with fewer pressure points, leaves the shoulders free to move and carries your dog's initial on the hangtag, free of charge.
What is an H-harness?
An H-harness is a dog harness with an H-shaped construction, comparable to what is often called a Y-harness or chest harness. The Perro Collection H-Harness is placed around the body rather than over the head, with adjustable straps for a precise fit. It distributes pressure evenly across the chest with fewer pressure points and leaves the shoulders free to move.
The design is our own and protected by design rights. Each H-Harness takes two and a half to four hours of handwork in our atelier in Tuscany: pattern construction, leather cutting, edge finishing, stitching, hardware assembly and a final check. Perro Collection was founded in Amsterdam in 2017, has more than 50,000 customers and ships every order from the Netherlands.
H-harness or step-in harness?
Choose the H-Harness for a precise fit: it adjusts with more straps and spreads the pressure across the chest with fewer pressure points, which suits a dog that puts real force into the leash. Choose the step-in harness for the simplest option: one measurement, your dog steps in and it closes over the back.
Neither goes over your dog's head, and on both the leash goes on the ring on the back. The full comparison is in our guide to the types of dog harnesses.
Which leather is the H-Harness made of?
Italian cow leather in two qualities. Natural grain leather is soft and silky, with a natural grain, as in the Marrone H-Harness and the Nero H-Harness. Bovine grained leather is soft, with a subtle pebble structure, as in Caffe Latte, Burgundy, Orange and Mocha Mousse. All of it comes from LWG-certified tanneries with a Gold Rating, with rounded edges and multi-layer gold-coloured hardware.
What goes with the H-Harness?
A leather leash in the same width and colour, so harness and leash line up: 1.5 cm with 1.5 cm, 2 cm with 2 cm. Keep a matching leather collar for the tag. Every piece belongs to the Walk collection.
