Ok so I will be brutally honest with you. I hate you .. I hate you ... I hate you...
Don't worry that's just envy talking thru me.
Fantastic job. I'm watching and waiting for more.

CHRIS,

Yes !! Being Native - Cherokee ! I can tell ya that th Indians would use Deer , & Buffalo hide. When They make a "Shirt" out of it ... It's very Soft . Like Nue Buck -

Thanks fella's , I really appreciate all the great comments

Panzerace ,Thanks buddy for the info and the brilliant pics , They show that there is either a variation in the colours of the hide ,or maybe they're dyed /bleached ,some look dark and some very pale ,but I dont think Im too far way ... Thanks again fella

Chris.

Chris,

The Darker ones seen in the 1st. picture are made from either Buffalo( Bison) & the Lighter tan ones are from Deer. They can be left asa Natural color or sometimes they are Tanned & that makes them slightly Darker.

I did some looking around ... Here is a Modern Look at the Old Ways & Dress of the Lakota Sioux
