tossik Report post Posted November 18, 2014 I am trying to find this skin in the US with no luck. I want to make some leather gloves and want to use this leather. Any ideas? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Geneva Report post Posted November 22, 2014 Why would you specify a certain species of pig for glove leather?? The only way you will ever find it is you have a live Peccary pig in your possession and take it to the butcher shop and then have the hide tanned after it is butchered. Then you would know for sure it is Peccary skin. That's an awful lot of work for a pair of pig skin gloves. I would look for pig skin leather. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Colt W Knight Report post Posted November 22, 2014 (edited) Collared Peccary, known as Javelina in the USA, actually aren't pigs. They just look like pigs. Since they are a wild game species that are not harvested on a large scale or farmed like deer, I doubt their hides are readily available to tan. Plus they smell awful. In the 19th and early 20th century, they were harvested and hides were traded world wide. These guys might have some http://www.yostfurdressing.com/ Edited November 22, 2014 by Colt W Knight Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
