Collar Factory

Collar Factory is an American Internet-based company that custom makes collars and cuffs. Their business headquarter is located in Milwaukie, Oregon.

The Collar Factory and furry
The CollarFactory.com forum has a Furry section, which as of August 10, 2008 contains some thirty threads, five of which were posted to in that month.

Fur Affinity
Collar Factory advertises on the online community, Fur Affinity. The News & Updates at the Collar Factory blog stated that the Collar Factory has "developed such a great relationship with Fur Affinity and the folks throwing the convention" FA: United and plan to have a page in the conbook.

In the same blog post, Collar Factory announced a furry art contest for that conbook page. The guidelines were for an entered image to be PG-rated, depict "a furry/animated character ... prominently wearing a Collar Factory collar and cuffs". The prize was $35 off the winner's next purchase from Collar Factory.

Advertising throughout the fandom
In August 2007 Collar Factory had announced their Collar Factory Video Contest to various websites. In the Long Island Furs LiveJournal community, in response to a comment labelling this spam, Collar Factory commented: "There is a very large fur community at Collar Factory, especially on the forums [...] We have worked closely with many people to build special collars for their fursuits, and been involved in fur community events. We are a part of other fur lj communities, and just recently joined this one as well." A member of the community commented "we'd appreciate it if you didn't post on our journal unless it pertains to furries."

Collar Factory made an identical post about the video contest to the Open Paws community on LiveJournal. After comments, Collar Factory's posts were declared "entirely off-topic" by a moderator of Open Paws.
