Brain Tanned Leather

Brain tanned leather is a soft and lofty leather. It is comfortable, yet durable and breathable when worn next to the skin. This leather is tanned using the same techniques that indigenous cultures of North America, Japan, and Siberia have used for thousands of years.

Deer and elk are soft and stretchy and are best used for clothing, bags and gloves. Moose is best used for moccasins and other projects requiring a thicker and more durable leather. Buffalo does not have the stretch of deer, elk or moose and works well for lodge covers, bags, moccasins and beadwork.
