metroplexchl Report post Posted September 18, 2016 I want to make an old school hunting jacket or hunting. It's going to be a white tailed deer (hair-on hide turned inward for warmth). I grew up giving hides on occassion to friends that worked leather and we would heavily salt the hide so the hair wouldn't "slip" or come off. But beyond that, I don't know how to properly tan the hide. I assume it's not super difficult, but am clueless. Your expertise and help would be appreciated!
