Hide, Seal

Coastal oiled hide; waterproof supple leather for sea-boots, deckcloaks. Price is for one whole skin.

A coastal seal’s hide—oiled and salted by maritime hunters—dense, waterproof, and flexible. Tanners soften it into supple leather for sea-voyagers’ boots and deck coats; sailors value the seal skin’s resistance to cold salt spray. Coastal trading posts stock these hides regularly.
