Brain tanned deerhide on the other hand is very durable an makes beautiful garments. also agree with others braintanning is a huge subject to explain.

Could not agree more. nothing is less comfy than pieces of deer hair in your parts. Buckskin is the way to go, then line it with rabbit hides, which are easy to find, easy to tan hair on and are warmer than deer hair!
