Faux Leather Chest Harness with High Collar and Cage Straps

This black faux leather chest harness integrates a fitted high collar directly into the harness structure, so the neck and chest form one continuous silhouette rather than two separate accessories. Flat straps approximately 1.5 cm wide radiate from a central silver O-ring in a geometric cage pattern, crossing the chest and anchoring to a second O-ring with a short chain at the waist band.

Collar and Cage Construction

The high collar sits snugly around the base of the neck and is secured with a small buckle at the back. From the collar base, two diagonal straps cross down to meet a horizontal chest band, creating a triangular cage frame. Silver-tone rivets at every junction reinforce the strap connections, and the central chest O-ring measures roughly 2.5 cm in diameter. The lower waist straps extend into open hip loops, keeping the harness anchored without a full torso wrap.

• High collar with back-buckle closure, approximately 3 cm tall
• Geometric cage strap pattern across the chest and upper torso
• Central silver O-ring at chest, secondary O-ring with chain at waist
• Silver-tone rivets at all strap intersections for structural integrity
• Open hip loops at the base — the lower body is not enclosed

Styling and Occasion

Worn over a fitted black turtleneck, the harness adds structural layering for a dark-fashion or gothic editorial look. Over a plain white fitted tee it reads as a statement accessory without requiring a full outfit change. The built-in collar removes the need for a separate choker, which saves layering bulk at the neck. Note that the open-ended waist straps require tucking into a waistband or pairing with high-waisted trousers or a skirt to stay in place during movement.

• Over a fitted turtleneck for gothic or dark-fashion layering
• Over a cropped tank top for festival or concert styling
• Paired with high-waisted leather trousers to anchor the waist straps
• Worn over a mesh top for a textural contrast between materials

Sizing and Fit

The harness fits a chest circumference of approximately 80 cm to 100 cm, adjusted via the buckles on the shoulder and chest straps. The collar is sized for a neck circumference of 33 cm to 40 cm — if your neck measures above 40 cm, the collar band will feel tight and is not recommended. The waist band sits at or just below the natural waist; torso length between approximately 40 cm and 50 cm (collar base to natural waist) works best. The hip loops are fixed at the bottom and do not adjust independently.

Material and Care

The straps are made from vegan faux leather over a flexible backing, giving them a smooth matte surface rather than a high-gloss finish. Hardware is silver-tone zinc alloy, including the O-rings, chain links, rivets, and buckle frames. The faux leather surface can be wiped clean with a damp cloth; avoid prolonged soaking or machine washing, as water can cause the backing to delaminate at the rivet points over time. Store flat or loosely coiled — tight folding can crease the strap surface permanently.

• Wipe clean with a damp cloth; do not submerge in water
• Avoid heat sources and direct sunlight during storage
• Store flat to prevent permanent creasing of the faux leather surface
• Check rivet tightness periodically; loose rivets can be pressed back with a flat tool
