A brushtail possum skin cloak, tanned with Mimosa tannin powder & softened with tallow. Each individual skin is then oiled with tallow, heated up near a fire, softened & sanded by hand. Brushtail possum fur is some of the highest quality & softest fur in the world. As in the fur fibers per sq inch is extremely high, but each fiber is hollow making it extremely soft.
Bark tanned skins are permanently transformed into a bio-logically stable leather. This strong bind that occurs between the tannin particles & collagen fiber structure, alongside the oil imbued into the skin make it water proof. It smells similar to wood, but does not have the usual stinky possum smell or greasy skin. Nice, dry & smooth. After it dries when it gets wet, it will either go back to being soft, or will go slightly stiff. Returning back to its soft state after some use.
These have been lined with pure cotton fabric that have an awesome red/black tartan pattern.
Note: For custom orders, please contact me via the contact page. I have a small list of custom ordered cloaks I am working to fulfill. Cloaks take 1-4 weeks to process depending on size. Thanks. :)
