Kangaroo Leather is the strongest leather for its weight in the world, yet very light.
This makes it ideal for plaiting belts, as the Australian Stockman has done for generations. Hamag's Belts and Hat Bands are hand plaited in this Bushman's tradition and are famous for their longevity and the many resourceful uses that the Australian farmer has put them to over the years.
All Kangaroo Leather, used by Hamag for its products, is harvested in accordance with the Australian Federal Government's Department of the Environment and Heritage strict guidelines and protocol.

Lace cut from kangaroo retains its rectangular cross section when stretched, whereas lace cut from cow or calf leather will curl so that the grain side of the lace becomes concave, making kangaroo lace the preferred choice for fine braiding. Vegetable tan kangaroo, as used in our braided goods, has about four times the tensile strength of equivalent cowhide.
