id like to get some buckskins to hunt in, maby pants and a vest/sleevless shirt? or maby a real sleeved hunting jacket. where can i get them from and how much would it run? (im 6ft 5, 330 pounds, so im quite large. would that affect how hard they are to get and price? thanks guys!
 
Real buckskins run rather high dollar. Brain Tan sells at braintan.com for about 18.00 a sqft. Average size, 36 waist x 34 inseam takes about 5 hides, average 9 sqft a hide, to make. You can get german tan at crazycrow.com for about $10.00 a sqft, just as good as brain tan. Shirt you can figure on four to five hides, unless you tailor it and patchwork it, make some fancy seams and what not.

If you're looking for already made (ready to wear) buck skins, may I suggest that you look at Blanket Brigade web site. Dale makes a good product. I bought a set from him and a buck skin dress for the wife plus a set of moc's. Good craftsmanship and a reasonable turnaround time. I really like mine.
