Typically for a single layer cuff or collar we use 6 to 9 ounce weight leather depending on what is available for that type of leather.  As the weight of the leather increases above 8 oz our available choices tend to dwindle to black, brown, and Tan. The Tan can be dyed to some colors, but we will be limited in the colors we can match.

For two layer pieces such as Submissive Reaction patterned collars the individual layers tend to be 5-7 oz leather, since the patterns tend to lose detail in heavier weight leather. 

Metallic colored leathers are an exception as the highest weight we have been able to get routinely is a 5-6 oz leather and more typically is available only in 4-5 oz. In addition, Metallic leathers tend to be a lower quality from a structural stand point as they start with lower grades of leather before adding the metallic coloring.  An exception are the Gold and Silver Metallic Leathers, which were a special order and are 6-7 oz quality leathers.

If you specifically wish us to use a heavier weight leather or have someone who tends to destroy cuffs, please let us know and we can customize your order to factor for this within the limits of available leather and other parts.
