I'd have loved to give this 4-1/2 stars, but since that's not an option, I went 5 because the drawback isn't much of a drawback for me.
We bought two of these, one in purple (22-inch) and one in lime (18-inch) for two large mixed-breed puppies (the biggest one was 50 pounds at about 7 months). It's a really durable collar. The cheapo collars non-nylon collars with plastic parts we had before stretched and the plastic mechanisms were too apt to adjust when they played, so it would either choke them or get so loose they'd slip it immediately when they were on leash.
The Hamilton does stretch minimally over time, but not enough to be a problem. When we got them, the colors were as expected from the pictures, too, which was nice. They're very attractive collars and while any collar becomes dingy with wear, these held up better than many. Our dogs tend to slip their collars (they probably have some greyhound or whippet in them), but we weren't sure about a Martingale collar because of their considerably larger mass (than a full-blood greyhound) and because they have some of the same drawbacks as choke collars. They don't slip these as easily as the cheap ones, but just to be safe, we decided on harnesses. We got the matching harnesses to these, and the colors matched well.
Hamilton Adjustable Easy-On Step-In Style Dog Harness, 3/4-Inch by 20-30-Inch, Medium, Lime Green
As others have mentioned, the sizing of the collars is a problem. The smaller dog was still growing, and when she outgrew the 18-inch, we went the next size up, which is 22. Unfortunately, the largest adjustment on the 18-inch is too small and the shortest adjustment on the 22-inch has a size (or few) in between. We knew this going into it, though, since we already had the other dog's 22-inch to check with, and were prepared to add an eyelet to the larger collar, which has worked relatively well so far.
Other than that, we're really pleased.

How To Measure For A Proper Fit

|
|---|---|---|
How To Fit A Hamilton CollarHamilton measures a dog collar from buckle to end. We stamp this measurement on the back of our buckle collars for your reference. For the best fit you should measure your pet's neck and add 2 inches. You should be able to place 2 fingers between the collar and your pet's neck to ensure a comfortable fit. |
How To Fit A Hamilton HarnessHamilton harnesses were created to fit your pet proportionately according to the measurement of the chest. The chest is measured just behind the front legs. Measure around the body from the center of the shoulder. |
How To Fit A Head HarnessThe Hamilton head harness should fit comfortably without restricting panting, drinking or eating. For initial placement, set adjustments to fit very loosely then tighten after the harness is in place. |

It is not 32" long
I needed this to go 29" around a neck. It is rated at 32" and says allow 2" for the buckle. 32 - 2 = 30", should be fine. It's not though, it's 31" long and when buckled you lose more than 2". It seems like an OK item, I like the metal-reinforced holes, but it's not the size it says it is.
