Buckskin is a type of leather made from the hide of deer or other animals, traditionally tanned using natural methods. It is known for its soft texture, durability, and flexibility, making it ideal for clothing, accessories, and various crafts. Buckskin has been used by Indigenous peoples in North America for centuries, often featuring intricate designs and embellishments. The term "buckskin" can also refer to a specific color, typically a light tan or beige shade resembling the leather. This color is often associated with Western wear and cowboy culture, where it is commonly seen in jackets, vests, and other garments.
