moosehide
Tanned cervid skin
Moosehide is leather made from the skin of a moose, traditionally used by Indigenous peoples of North America for clothing, moccasins, and other goods.
The hide is thick and durable, prized for its strength and suppleness when properly tanned: moosehide gloves, moosehide moccasins.
The term also appears in place names, particularly in Canada and Alaska.
