The topgrain elk leather is sorted into three grades and are sold by the square feet.

The topgrain leather averages between 23 to 25 sq. ft. per hide but may be larger or smaller.

We also have a limited amount of craft grade elk leather that is sold by the pound.

The leather is about 2.5 oz. in weight.  It has some imperfections and holes. The larger pieces are up to full skins in size.  The pieces average 9.25 to 15.5 square feet.  One 9.25 sq. ft. piece we weighed was 1.32 lbs.  Most pieces are tan, gold, or black.  Some white may be available.  Let us know if you have a color preference.  The hides have stains from sitting too long at the tannery.  Less than 90 pounds of this grade are left.

Genus and species: Cervus canadensis.  Wild.

Elk are not an endangered species.  The elk are not killed just for their skins.

A U.S. Fish & Wildlife export permit is required for all shipments outside of the United States.
