Ongole is a bark-tanned sheepskin named after one of my favorite cow breeds, with their cute-as-hell wide, floppy ears, from the May 2026 drop of sheepers, named after various breeds of cattle, cause these hides are beeeeeefy.
Ongole is the widest of the XLs, measuring roughly:
42“ long
31“ at its widest
3“ of pure lush woolly fiber
The colorways as you get close to the root are insane. Ongole is lighter than Chianina in both color & weight. Ongole is on the bottom of the photo with another hide. Ongole has one little butcher hole seen in photos.
This sheepskin is being sold as a tandem love project between Lo & Driftless Tannery, based out of Wisconsin. Lo’s goal is to work with co-ops, small tanneries, farmers, and butchers to ethically tan sheepskin & provide them for feral folks & critters near, far, local, and otherwise.
Sheepskins have made a large difference in my day-to-day life, regulating body temperature and pain, and they’re hypoallergenic. Plus, who doesn’t love being part of a mission to reduce animal waste that would have otherwise been destroyed or thrown out?
