Tribal Hollywood: Barcode

Okay so Tribal Hollywood stock a reasonable number of more robust looking chains in styles that more masculine types may find attractive, mostly made from silver and look like they'd work for being day Collars.

However one thing that caught my eye in particular was their Barcode Necklace, a black rubber coated length of something (steel wire I'm guessing) with a series of beads at the front in stainless steel to give the effect of creating a barcode.

A really nice idea I think, while the item itself looks awesome it more got me wondering about subtle ways to encode information like SLRNs in barcodes like this to make them available and in plain sight, but hidden.

10 Sterling

10 Sterling are mostly a jewellery outfit as far as I can tell, however they do a range of "Neck Chains & Cords" that work quite well for subtle collars I think.  Many of these are reasonably high-end stuff, made from silver and titanium, but some of the more basic lines also feature neat tricks like magnetic links to hold them shut.  They also stock more collar-like things including stainless steel segmented collars and steel neck chains. If you're looking for more masculine subtle day collars many of this selection could totally work

Wyred Slave

Probably one of the best collar related experiences I've had so far is dealing with Wyred Slave they're a small business based in the UK who manufacture steel rope collars (and cuffs).  They're the first I saw doing it (although they may not be the first) and do a range of thicknesses, held together by tension locks (that can be locking or not).  Most importantly they also do PVC coated collars, meaning those of us with metal sensitivity can more easily wear them, and they look subtle and classy in almost any situation, and also really hot and subby in others :)
