Buffalo Hide is a strong, durable leather with a pebbled grain. Sold in multiple colors, weights and sizes, it is used to make many things including coats, gloves, moccasins, wallets, buffalo robes and throw rugs.

The skin from buffalo, deer, elk or cattle from which most rawhide originates is prepared by removing all fur, meat and fat. The hide is then usually stretched over a frame before being dried. The resulting material is hard and translucent. It can be shaped by rewetting and forming before being allowed to thoroughly re-dry.

Buffalo leather has an extra thick skin layer that makes it stronger and more durable than cowhide. Buffalo hide leathers are not stretched during the tannage process, unlike cowhide leathers, and therefore they are thick and more resistant to tearing than cowhide leathers.

Buffalo leather has an epidermal layer up to three times thicker than cow hide which means that it is extremely strong and durable. The buffalo hides are not stretched during the tanning process, unlike cow hide, and therefore they are thicker and more resistant to tearing.
