Brain Tan Buckskin Leather
Braintanned buckskin is one of the oldest ways of turning a hide into leather. The process is long and hard, as anyone who has done it will attest, but the outcome is far better then any other leather. It is stronger then Carhartt yet softer then velvet.
Brain tan leather is the best material for clothing, especially mountain man and mountain girl clothing. This type of buckskin is what native american dress and beadwork is made of; all medicine pouches (if authentic), moccasins, leather bags, leather clothing, ect. is all made form brain tan buckskin.
If you are wanting to make a buckskin shirt, dress, or jacket this is the best leather to use.
