Skin Tans
All hair-on or Game Skins are tanned on our premises. Most skins are Chrome Tanned; this is the most widely used chemical tanning process giving the most consistent, cost effective quality end product when done correctly. We are extremely proud of our results. There are, however, certain species where Chrome Tanning is not the process of choice and we have adopted other processes to specifically tan these more delicate items. Again, achieving the best tanning results. As a rule, where possible, any holes are fine stitched and then glue patched on the reverse to achieve the strongest, neatest repair.
Leather Tanning requires additional sophisticated processes and equipment including hair removal, dying and occasionally pattern printing (i.e. stamping a Buffalo print onto a Cow hide). This is not our speciality and we outsource to the most reliable commercial tannery we can find. Their quality is consistently excellent but as a consequence not the cheapest. Their distance from Pretoria necessitates a transportation charge for raw and finished items which is added to the price and can be found in our 'Terms & Conditions'.
