How Does The Leather Guy Grade American Deerskin?

Choosing the Right Grade for Your Project

When it comes to American Deerskin, we know that quality matters — especially for projects that require softness, durability, and a natural rustic look. That’s why we carefully inspect and sort each hide by hand into four distinct grades to help you find exactly what you need for your craft.

Why We Grade This Way

Because deerskin comes from wild deer, natural flaws are more common than in farmed hides. Instead of discarding hides with imperfections, we offer a grading system that helps match the right hide to the right project. Whether you're making a high-end bag or piecing together a one-of-a-kind design, there’s a hide here for you.

Not sure which grade is best for your project? Reach out — we’re happy to help guide you!
