LEATHER

This is a traditionally brain-tanned and smoked elk hide. This skin was tanned and smoked using a traditional brain-tanning process using real veal brains by a European man in Canada who was accepted into the Lakota Tribe. Very few people are making true brain-tanned hides any more. It is NOT being offered as Native made. This is a whole hide with some small holes, blemishes, and scratches on the leather. It has a smoky smell and is supple. Many cheaper "brain tan" hides are on the market...

This is full grain North American bison (buffalo) leather. The difference between our Buffalo Upsholstry Leather styles is in the texture and finish. These are sold by the half hides which range in size from 11 to 23 sq. ft. The Ute buffalo leather is chrome-tanned 4 oz. leather. The buffalo are not killed just for the hides. The hides are a by-product of the meat industry. Domesticated buffalo are not endangered.
