How to see the distinction between a quality tanned cowhide and inferior cowhides.
A cowhide that has been tanned effectively and right now there are many that are not will not, can lose hair under typical use. It offers a fresh sheen, and is tanned with a chromium process that offers flexibility and durability underfoot.
A low quality cowhide will often possess a chemical smell, is stiffer, has a less vivid fur, and generally features an asymmetrical appearance.
We stock solely hand-picked, chromium-tanned skins from the most respected tanneries inColumbia. These tanneries take terrific pride in their skill and craftsmanship, and have invested great care in creating only the best cowhides.
Using chromium tanning to create an outstanding cowhide is an expensive process; there’s absolutely no way of getting around it. Therefore if you are offered a bargain on low-priced cowhides, be careful: they were produced with a substandard tanning process, and in time, your customers will certainly understand the big difference.
