Bantha hide

Bantha hide also known as Bantha leather was a type of animal hide harvested from banthas, a domesticated species bred for their hides as well as their meat, wool, and milk. The hide could be tanned and used to make clothing or furniture. Bantha-hide boots, jackets, and other wares were quiet popular, with the fashion-concious human Lando Calrissian owning a red-and-black bantha-hide belt. Bantha hides could also be mashed with fermented grains in order to make the bitter drink ardees. The hide was mentioned in an entry on banthas in the section concerning the planet Tatooine in the pirate Hondo Ohnaka's book, Galactic Explorer's Guide.
