It proved very difficult to find more and for a while I thought it would never be available again, but I’ve been able to source another couple of skins of this wonderful leather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDark Kudu is a soft, pliable leather with bags of character. This leather is darker than the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/toshi-straps.co.uk\/product\/african-kudu\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eAfrican Kudu\u003c\/a\u003e leather I also use, as it has had a brown dye applied during the tanning process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eKudu live in dense brush or forest in the African savanna, one of the harshest environments on earth, and are prey to preditors such as leopards and hyenas. The kudu skins used to produce this leather exibit all the scars and marks of the animals hard life. Being a full grain leather, any scars on the animals skin will be visable, although as the product is natural no two pieces of leather are the same and so the scarring will be more visable on some straps than others. This means that no two kudu leather straps will look the same, ensuring your strap will be unique. As is the case with all the kudu leather I use, the skins are the result of the seasonal kudu cull mandated by the South African government.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe strap photographed for this page was stitched with natural thread, but butterscotch \u0026amp; light brown stitching will work well with this leather too.
