An older tanning method is tanning with fats and oils. Therefore fat-rich animal substances such as brain, fish oil, sebum or marrow are used. This kind of tanning can also be done with soap, claw oil, yak butter or egg yolk. The advantage of fat tanning is that the fats are automatically present with the killing of the animals.
It is believed that already 5,000 years ago, leather for shoes, tent walls, straps and leather clothing had been preserved by fat tanning and subsequent smoking.
