Kangaroo leather is by far the best leather for fine leather braiding. Excess kangaroos are harvested in Australia under programs approved by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife authorities. The leather we offer is in a high strength bark tannage, and skins are selected for shape and minimum scars and discoloration. We offer natural, black and whiskey skins drum stuffed, that is grease is worked into the leather in heated rotating drums. Drum stuffing provides an even distribution of grease in the amount needed to ensure optimum properties of the leather. The natural color skins are a light tan color as received from the tannery, but darken with sunlight. The black and whiskey skins are tannery dyed, and are black or whiskey through the skin. Our kangaroo skins are sold by square decimeter. 10 square decimeters equal 1.076 square feet. We have provided an estimate of the price of a skin, but the actual price will be determined when shipped. There is a 10% discount for lots of 250 square decimeters and over (assorted), 15% in lots of 500 decimeters and over.
