Leather Choker Necklace - Punk Gothic Collar, Adjustable, for Women & Men

The Choker That Passes for a Necklace

On the surface this is a soft faux-leather band with a metal ring at the throat. Punk styling, gothic if you lean that way, and entirely wearable with a jacket on a Thursday night out. What it also is, once the jacket comes off, is a collar. Most people buy it for the second reason and end up wearing it for the first.

The band is soft instead of stiff, so it does not saw at the throat over a long evening, and the length adjusts: close at the neck, or dropped lower and layered with chains you already own. There is no separate version for men and women, which makes it an unusually safe gift when you are guessing at someone's taste.

One caution stated plainly: the front ring is decorative. It is a design feature rather than rated hardware, so nothing load-bearing should be clipped to it and no weight should go through it. For care, a dry cloth or a barely damp one is all the leather wants. Never submerge it and never put it through a machine.

It can reach a Brickell lobby desk within 69 minutes, roughly the gap between leaving the office and going back out again.
