Industry Specific
All of our leather is coming from non-endangered and non-threatened shark species and no CITES is required. Currently, we're offering black fin species in 1 to 7 oz thickness in a rough or soft-tanned presentation.
Tanning Technique
Due to environmental concerns and advancements in tanning practices, all of our shark leather is now 100% vegetable tanned and no heavy metals are used in the process. We have the ability to add extra oils to produce a much softer, almost fabric-like or garment-grade leather. Additionally, the outer surface can be skived if a nubuck or suede finish is desired. There is no additional charge for these services.
Availability
Due to it's high demand, Shark is one of the leathers that varies greatly in availability from season to season. Thus, we recommend carefully calculating your needed yield and purchasing enough material for your project all at once. Shark skins range from 4-12 square foot and are sold as they come in from nature. We are currently the only seller in the marketplace with credits for blemishes and holes, other than the natural A-shape or H-shape from harvesting around the fins. If your skins has a blemish, hole, or imperfection we credit those from the overall square footage. However, it is always was to include in your calculations an overage appropriate for your usage/pattern.
