rattlesnake:
would like all input on building a leather shirt/pullover for hunting??

thankyou ,,in sportsmanship...snake/jeff

uwe:
Mountainman or Indian warshirt? These are my ideas. Material: deerskin, patterns for example "Crazy Crow".

recurve shooter:
could you use chem. taned leather or would it have to be buckskin?

huntertrapper:
chem. tanned hide is still buckskin. i used it on my shirt. a good leather needle is good along with artificial sinew or just tie the two hides together with leather thongs. you might find also that two deer hides may not be enough to make a sleeved shirt.

hawkbow:
Use elk hide.. that way the grizz claws won't penetrate as deep when they get aholt of ya.. LOL
