Does anyone have a hankerin to have a genuine brain tanned buffalo robe. I've wanted one ever since I saw the Movie "The Mountain Men" with Charleston Heston and Brian Keith. Remember the scene when Bill Tyler (Heston) rolled up in a buffalo robe with Runnin Moon? Then there was the Movie "Dances with Wolves" that also had a scene with a buffalo robe.

I found a good deal on one and now I'm waiting for cold weather.    

 

   

Very nice Ron!

What about the one in " Jeremiah Johnson " ? Remember his Indian wife working on it all summer and then fitting him with it before he went buff huntin again ? " The wind and rain will not pass through "

Bet that one will keep ya warm this winter Ron !

Very nice but be careful that you don't end up in a freezer!

I've definitely wanted one and some hides to make some war shields out of.

Looks awesome!

You lucky dog!

Beautiful.I do want one that I can wear out to get the mail and while puffing a stogie on the patio.Are you  supposed to wear  something under them?                :D

Nice...looks real warm

That's a nice one Ron.    

Mrs. Blackhawk, the practical one, said for me to save the money and use it for fuel bills instead.   :rolleyes:

Here's where I got mine, I thought he was pretty reasonable.

Awesome site...was wondering where I could get some buffalo rawhide for a future bow project and just found out! Thanks!

wasn't Jeremiah's coat made from beaver???
Either way; that's too cool Ron!!

Sweet! I need to get a buffalo and ship it on out to Erik...

That is a very good price considering how much work is involved with brain tanning.  Me and the wife have 2 buffalo hides from ones we have shot that we use every time we set up our tipi.  They were commercially tanned but still very soft and warm!

WAAAAAY COOL!!!
Thanks for sharing the link. I would love to have one.
I like how he makes sure to say "I'll tan your BUFFALO hide".
In the book I read about brain tanning. It's funny how he talks about going to the meat counter at the store and says "Have you got any brains?" and "I need some brains". Did you know you have enough brains to tan your own hide?
Ha ha, I'm cracking myself up again!

Looks like it was made for ya Ron and the size is just right...  :p

Hi Ron, you the man,
