I have an alligator skin to get tanned and I am looking for recommendations for a tannery. This skin needs to be garment tanned. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

Also can anyone tell me what color the hide will be if a natural tan (no dye) is done?

Thanks!

If you don't dye it it will be a grayish color that doesn't look real good
