Show Buckskin Buckskin, from which gloves are made, for the most part comes from Mexico and Brazil. The skins are usually smaller than those of sheep, and seldom perfect, because of the wounds or thorn scratches. The latter lat-ter do not weaken the gloves, however, and, in fact, a visible scratch Is pretty good proof that a glove Is genuine buckskin. The leather is dressed in oil and the color Is obtained with colored col-ored clay dust. Because of this , method of coloring, every buckskin ' glove will dust off or crack the first three or four times it Is worn. Buck leather is close fibered, soft after wearing wear-ing and warm. |
