Brain Tanned Buckskin

Crafted in the old way, dressed with natural brains and wood smoke. These brain tanned hides embody the timeless beauty of true traditional leather. Each hide is luxuriously soft, warm, and very durable. As a garment material, it breathes and moves with your body and was once the most widespread clothing on the continent. It's hand-washable and has a woodsy, smoky smell which will lessen after it's first wash.

Brain tanned deer skin is prized for its strength, softness, and durability, making it perfect for garments, pouches, moccasins, and countless other handcrafted items. Brain tanned pronghorn skin, lighter yet just as durable deer, have an exceptionally fine grain and buttery feel, making them ideal for soft warm weather clothing, trim, or smaller craft projects.

Soft, stretchy, thin and super durable, this ancient material is a dream to work with. Now a dying craft, for thousands of years brain tan buckskin was used for garments. In my opinion, it reigns supreme as the most comfortable clothing "fabric."
