A great alternative to working with brain tanned hide (leather), German Tanned buckskin is perfect for beadwork - needles easily pass through the hide (or "nick" it if you're using lazy stitch).
This tanned hide (leather) is a wonderful light (considered white) color and sueded on both sides. The hides can be larger (a little over 20 square feet, if available) and perfect for dresses, leggings, shirts, moccasins, and pipebags. The hides are #1 or #2 with two having more scars and discoloration.
As with all things by Mother Nature, there will be imperfections, scars and places where the color is lighter or darker. If you are looking for something specific please let us know in the "comments" section of the order and we will see what we can help with.
I had been looking for quality tanned buckskin and came across the German Tanned buckskin on Prairie Edge website, after a quick call to clarify questions, I placed order. I was amazed that just 4 days later, I had my shipment and the quality of the tanning did not disappoint. Thank you Prairie Edge for being true to quality and the efficiency with shipping. I am definitely ordering again and recommending others when needing quality.
