Go into horse shop and get saddle soap and saddle oil. A horse man I know cleaned mine. Good job he done too. Keeps wet leather from cracking and turning  stiff.

Butter ,the full fat stuff does the job

To me quick release doesn’t scream secure fastening.

I got some biothane ones of ebay that seem pretty good up to now

[jiggy 3,209]

Biothane with brass fittings are really good.The normal  biothane are cheap but rust after a while. Still good value for money though and much cheaper and easier clean than leather. Nothing worse than 2 lurchers kenneled together and one eats the expensive collar of the other. ?

As secure as any normal couple it’s just 2 hoops either end of collar n clip holds them together
