Commercial farms that feed Alligator must be able to demonstrate a viable second generation progeny for the species. Ranching programs must operate under an Approved Management plan that must demonstrate, for a defined geographic area, that the impact of harvesting is not detrimental to the species. The longer these animals are on the farm, the larger they become, they require more food and care. Farmers have to wait from 2 to 3 years to raise an animal and produce a finished skin.
Alligator’s skins are prized for their incredible quality and texture. Alligator leather watch bands are usually stylish and personalities thanks to their distinctive skin texture.
Alligators have very tough skin, usually a dull gray or deep olive in color. The bony plates within the skin give the alligator’s body an “armored” look. They rely on their rough skin for protection and survival in the wild. The highly textured full grain alligator hornback or belly straps are used to craft stunning and strong alligator watch bands
