Eh, I just did a search on Youtube... apparently crocodile and alligator hide is known as 'crusts' - as in when they 'prepare the crusts' ... OMG.
It's an unforgetable experience, right?

I can't imagine buying this stuff and looking and reviving the whole process again. I've a lambskin Bal bag and I know it has gone thru the same process too. I still luv leather but as long as I hv not seen how they slaughter the poor lamb, I'm ok with it.
But not the crocs or alligator!!!!!!

Let me know if I made a good decision , I will share some pictures below.
