Product Description:
Discover the exceptional quality of SB Foot Tanning Company's Taos Brown Bear leather, a premium material that embodies American tanning excellence. This distinguished leather showcases the perfect balance of beauty, functionality, and durability that has made SB Foot a trusted name among craftsmen for generations.

The Taos Brown Bear features a rich, warm brown coloration with subtle depth and character that only quality leather can provide. Each hide tells a unique story through its natural grain patterns and marks that authenticate its genuine full-grain nature.

What sets this leather apart is its perfectly calibrated medium temper—providing enough structure to maintain shape in your projects while offering the flexibility needed for comfortable daily use. This balanced temper makes Taos Brown Bear incredibly versatile across a wide range of applications, from rugged work accessories to refined everyday carry items.

The lightly waxed grain adds a subtle protective layer that enhances the leather's natural beauty while providing improved resistance to moisture and wear. This light wax treatment gives the surface a gentle luster that will further develop character as the leather ages, creating a material that becomes more personal and distinctive over time.

Leathercrafters will appreciate how Taos Brown Bear responds to traditional techniques. It cuts cleanly, takes stitching beautifully, and finishes to smooth edges. The medium temper allows for easy shaping and molding while maintaining enough structure to hold its form in completed projects.

Each hide represents SB Foot's commitment to quality—the same dedication that has made them the primary leather supplier to Red Wing Shoes since 1872. This heritage of excellence is evident in every inch of these beautiful hides.
