    1. I'm not sure if I would ever be brave enough to post an actual picture but I suppose these can at least stimulate the imagination.

  2. In one of your posts you were writing about how to make something like this locking. If I remember well, you had a drawing as well. I'm currently sewing a fur trim on a hood and had an idea, that might help you.

    You could get one of those metal collars, that lock with an Allen-wrench, like this one https://www.amazon.com/Stainless-Bondage-Locking-Choker-Restraint/dp/B00KRF0WQ0 Probably better to get without the ring though. These are typically heavy, and not something you can get out of too fast, like when you want to hide it suddently :). On ebay you can get a piece of fur trim/collar/strip, there are ton of choices - color, fur type, length and width - find something which would suit around your neck on top of this metal ring collar. Typically they come with a satin lining. Once you get it, you need to sew an additional lining on top of the original one, so the two linings make sort of a tunnel where you can pull the metal ring through. If you are bad at sewing, you could ask a furrier to make this "tunnel" for you, even from real leather, that would be probably sturdier than having it from satin - I just don't know how to sew leather. Here is an example of something which is already made like that, but this has a satin scarf tugged in that "tunnel" or "sleeve", instead of the metal collar - the metal is way easier to pull it through that sleeve.

    I hope this will help you, I might do it later on too for myself :)
