What to Expect

A buttery softs strip of natural leather with a campfire scent.

Ingredients

Brain tanned buckskin (deer hide). Traditionally tanned with natural ingredients: brains, olive oil.

Fun Facts

Julia brain-tans these buckskin ties completely by hand, using natural and traditional methods.

1. YES! It’s tanned using animal brains

Traditional buckskin is made using a brain-tanning process where the animal’s brain is worked into the hide. Brains contain natural oils that soften and preserve the leather—no chemicals needed. It is said that every animal has enough brains to tan their own hide!

2. It’s one of the softest and most breathable leathers

Unlike stiff commercial leather, properly brain-tanned buckskin stays soft, quiet, and breathable—even when worn against the skin and after being wet. This makes it ideal for clothing, moccasins, and outdoor gear.

3. Smoke is what makes it permanent

The final smoking step isn’t just for scent—it chemically changes the fibers so the hide won’t stiffen after getting wet. Without smoking, brain-tanned leather can dry hard.

However, we still recommend keeping your Buckskin Tie dry to keep in premium condition and avoid potential stretching and/or curling.

Storage

Good for everyday wear!

Keep clean.

Although your Buckskin Tie can get wet and will still dry soft, we recommend keeping your Buckskin Tie dry to keep in premium condition and avoid potential stretching and/or curling.
