A catalogue of the collar, with notes on make, fit and meaning · 2026 edition · adults only, 18+

Edmund Thorne

History editor

Edmund writes the history: the collar as symbol across cultures, its arrival in BDSM, and how meaning attaches to a band around the neck. He reads widely, cites carefully, and is quick to separate a good story from a proven one.

Experience: Twelve years researching and writing on the material culture of BDSM.

Writes on: collar history, symbolism, collars in BDSM, the collaring ceremony
