JAPANESE WILD BOAR

One of the strongest types of leather available, pigskins are typically chrome tanned in thin weights to be used for lining in footwear. The Japanese wild boar is a byproduct of farmland protection, sourced locally by hunters and farmers. Unlike the more common pigskin these hides are full vegetable tanned and prepped in thicker weights. The hides have a medium yet structured temper making them suitable to use for small goods.

Due to its exposure to nature the skins are going to be imperfect with natural scarring and marks. Boar hides are characterized by a unique follicle grain and is renowned for its excellent resistance to abrasions and wear.
