Braintan Buckskin

Traditional brain tan buckskin, dressed with brains and smoked with Douglas Fir. Luxuriously soft, warm and long lasting. It feels so good next to the body, that it wears like a second skin. This fabric breathes and stretches with the movement of your body, yet provides protection from the sun and wind, and can be washed (it is not water-proof). Buckskin is particularly valued as a durable yet comfortable clothing, and is also excellent for pouches, moccasins and many other items.

We sell only genuine brain tan. We guarantee not only 100% satisfaction, but that these will be some of the best hides you’ll ever see. Our customers include a wide variety of tribes, museums, historic re-enactors, movies, outdoorsmen and craftspeople. We have worn, used and sold brain tan for 35 years and have a very good understanding of what size and thickness of skin works best for various projects. You can always give us a call at 888 Hide-Tan (888 443-3826) and tell us what you need and we will use that experience to select the best possible hides for your project. If they aren’t perfect, return them at our expense (we’ve had 3 returned of the 1000’s we’ve sold).
