A brushtail possum skin cloak, tanned with Mimosa - Black wattle tannin powder (Acacia Mearnsii) produced from tree bark. 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.
I am one of the only people in New Zealand who does & plans on continuing to produce these exceptionally rare items. Item details are below. Some of these skins have small holes. Nonetheless, this does not affect the quality, only the aesthetic on the “flesh side”.
Details:
- Weight: 1kg

- Tan: Mimosa, Black Wattle (Acacia Mearnsii)
