Rocky Mountain Tanners Offers Wholesale Elk, Deer, Bison and Buffalo Leather

    ENGLEWOOD, CO, December 10, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Rocky Mountain Tanners is a wholesale leather provider that offers leather from a variety of game animals, including leather made from elk skin, deer skin, and American Bison/buffalo hides. These leathers are difficult to find at leather retailers and specialty shops. Rocky Mountain Tanners sells these leathers pre-tanned at affordable prices.

Elk leather is a historical tradition in the American West. For centuries, Native Americans and mountain men alike have sought elk skins to tan and make into leather. Leather made from elk hides continues to be in high demand among leather enthusiasts, but fewer examples of this leather are available because elk are in limited supply. This leather is soft but durable and resistant to tearing and stretching, which makes it ideal for use in leather clothing, handbags, gear, and even boots. This leather has a unique grain that makes it a distinctive choice for leather applications, and no two pieces of leather made from elk hide are exactly the same.

Deer leather is one of the most coveted leathers for handbags, jackets, and even wall art or other artistic applications. This leather is the most soft and supple leathers available. Although hunters capture more than 200 million deer each year, few of their hides are set aside for processing. As a result, leather made from deer hides is rarely seen in retail leather shops.

American bison leather is also sometimes sold as "buffalo leather." This is a misnomer because although American bison are sometimes referred to as buffalo, they bear no relation to the Asian water buffalo. Leather made from bison skin is very durable and heavy, which makes it ideal for furniture and heavy-duty pieces of leather gear and clothing. Like leather made from elk skins, this leather has a unique grain that is individual to the animal.
