Reindeers are part of the deer family and are often kept in large herds in the far north (Alaska, northern Norway, Lapland, Finland, North America and Spitzbergen). In Canada, similar species living in the wild are referred to as cariboo (caribou). The skins of these animals are chamois-tanned to obtain a durable suede, which is mostly used as clothing leather.
Reindeer suede is not distinguishable from goat suede.
