What is Bark Tanning?
Bark tanning is a traditional, eco-friendly leather tanning process that uses tannins naturally extracted from tree bark to preserve and strengthen hides. Similar to vegetable tanning, bark tanning is an even more ancient, traditional style of vegetable tanning. Bark tanned shearlings are the highest quality you can find. The bark tanning allows the wool to retain its natural anti-bacterial properties, allowing the wool to stay soft, bouncy, and extremely resilient.
