Tan-a-Buckskin

Tan-a-Buckskin Kit

Tan-a-Buckskin is an all-inclusive deluxe tanning kit designed specifically for producing hair-off buckskin leather from deer, elk, bison, or cow hides. This complete kit includes the tools and professional-grade tanning products needed to take a hide from start to finish.

The tanning agents and oils included are the same formulations used by commercial tanneries to produce high-quality buckskin leather, simplified for both beginners and experienced tanners. When properly used, Tan-a-Buckskin delivers a soft, supple, and stretchy leather with excellent stitch-holding ability—ideal for crafts, garments, mittens, and traditional buckskin clothing.
