Needing crocodile skin tanned for footwear

[SkullKeeper]

I’m looking for suggestions on having my croc skin tanned a natural croc green color for boots and other wearables. Thank you in advance for all help.

I have had several alligator skins done by American Tanning Company in Griffin, GA. They have always done a great job. I’m sure they could do a croc skin as well.

That isn't unreasonable. Ive seen far higher prices then that.

Thank you gentlemen ! I’ve contacted Chris Plott at American Tanning and he is sending me some color samples.

Yes, use American tanning. They do my gators.

I would also be glad to help you. We just got back an 11'9 alligator that we had tanned for a client. I will post pictures in the near future I just haven't had time yet.

Sebring custom tanning in Sebring FL. Charge 25 dollars a foot for gators. I send 20 to 30 hides a year to them. They do a good job

Nice idea. I would like to see some croc come out with its natural colour.

I just bought a piece of Croc hornback for display that is brown. It was $125 posted with a permit listed on used guns. Probably the closest I will get to having a crocodile hide. Everything native here is protected.

Unfortunately crocs and gators that get tanned for leather goods in the white, don’t retain their natural/living colors and are ready for a coloured dye.
