Cloaks are made to be easily converted back and forth from a throw hide to a cloak through the use of Chicago screw hardware.The strap is made of high quality oiled leather.The cloak pictured measures 52L (4ft 4in) 47W at shoulder (3ft 11″) and is a very accurate representation of what you will receive in both color and size.All hides are unique and will have some variations but nothing far from what you see here.The leather strap may vary slightly in color due to different dye lots but will always be made of sturdy and high quality dark brown leather.Variation options may appear from time to time with alternate styles and closures so you may also see those available.

Premium quality soft, warm, natural reindeer hides, raised by Sámi reindeer herders in Finland, personally imported under appropriate US Fish and Wildlife permit regulations.I measure a little narrower than the actual full length and width of the hide, so generally the hide is larger than the stated measurement by an inch or two.

Creases in hair made during shipping will naturally disappear shortly after being unpacked. We personally use these while camping due to their amazing warmth. They are perfectly suited for outdoor use as a layer between you and a cold bench/floor.

In the year 98, Roman historian Tacitus writes about “strange people in Thule (Latin for the far north) who wear fur clothes, hunt reindeer and travel with skis”. These people carry on their traditional lifestyle today, passing down knowledge from generation to generation as they have done for thousands of years. A reindeer herder develops a close relationship with their herd.Reindeer herding remains the exclusive domain of indigenous Sámi people in Finland.

Synthetic materials take thousands of years to break down, harming the Earth and environment. Using natural materials allows the environment to reclaim its resources in the circle of life. This hide honors an ancient way of life where animals and humans work closely with one another.
