These Simulated Commercial Braintan Deer hides are buttery soft, smooth, and flexible, closely mimicking the look and feel of traditional brain-tanned leather, but without the smoke. They’re ideal for traditional crafts, moccasins, linings, regalia, and other projects where softness and natural texture matter. Raw edges and natural markings like scratches, scars, and the occasional hole are normal, highlighting the unique character of each hide. Lightweight yet strong, this leather drapes beautifully and is easy to sew by hand or machine.
Please note: Due to the nature of the tannage, color variation can occur between hides. We recommend confirming availability and shades at the time of order.
