Description This wild antelope leather is full of character, offering a soft touch and heavier weight; a perfect combination for any boot. Variation is expected in this leather. Kudu leather is the leather of the African antelope greater kudu, an antelope found in Southern and Eastern Africa. Local tribes have hunted kudu for thousands of years for the hides, meat, and horns. The leather is unique because the kudu is not raised in captivity, so all kudu leather results from hunting and culling. Subsequently, each piece of leather bears the scars the animal acquired while navigating the thick brush of Africa. The resulting leather is strong, durable, soft, and supple, much like goat leather.
