I keep Jazz's coat really long and have had NO problems with her wearing her martingale all the time. It so far hasn't tangled the coat. Our new baby Saleen is also wearing one (it's about the only type of collar we use these days) and it isn't making a mess of her baby hair either. DON'T leave a choke collar, no matter how fancy, on your dog if he isn't on leash. The photo of the chain you posted is commonly refered to as a snake chain if you're interested. If you're just set on having a different collar to hold tags on other than the martingale the rolled one you posted a photo is probably your best bet. Honetsly though, I don't see a reason to have two collars.
Another take on the collar debate is to have a break away collar to hold your tags. Pressumably if the collar gets caught on something it can break open and avoids choking your dog when you aren't home. Just another option.
Again though, it seems more complicated to me to have to switch collars back and forth just to go for a walk. Unless you are using a training collar of some sort I suppose. If you already have the martingale why not just use it for a while and see if you even need an additonal collar. If it aint broke don't fix it right ?
