buckskins

Deer hide pants

Buckskins are pants or leggings made from buckskin—soft leather from deer or sometimes sheep hide.

The term evokes frontier America, where such garments were standard wear: a trapper in buckskins.

The word also refers to a horse with a tan or yellowish coat and black mane and tail.
