With its superbly executed distressing and a supple, broken-in feel, it’s hard to believe this leather isn’t a prized antique. A carefully chosen oil content gives this water buffalo leather hide the perfect firmness for bags and offers a slight pull-up effect that looks even better in person. The flesh side looks and feels like suede so your project exudes excellence from the inside out. Not to mention, we love that this leather yields professional, one-of-a-kind projects without breaking the bank. Create your next heirloom quality leather project with this leather that's the perfect fusion of affordability and beauty.
We work closely with our tanneries to ensure our water buffalo hides are tanned to our high standards. Chrome tanning yields consistent color and grade and offers excellent value. Chrome tanning takes about one to three days as opposed to the one-to-three-month veg tanning process, making it an economical choice.
We’re so confident in the leather we sell that we offer free returns on leather, excluding leather panels, pieces and belt blanks. If the leather we ship you isn’t exactly what you hoped for, we will cover the return shipping cost — no matter what the reason is. It’s our goal to provide you with the highest quality leather that will make the perfect canvas for your project.

"I am starting learning to use a sewing machine and have been making tote bags this leather is great as the price and quality means I can practice without breaking the bank"
"The leather is fine, what there is of it. For the third time, the hides delivered were smaller than advertised. Maverick doesn't do this, Springfield doesn't do this, Tandy doesn't do this, why does Weavers expect me to accept this?"
"Nice big side of chrome tan. Not a fan of it not being black. It has A LOT of green and blue in it amongst gray. . kind of a moldy color. Has stains from the tannery. The brown one looks great. This one, not so much. Steadily trying to find ways of darkening it."
"Beautiful leather! Loved working with it. Has this old look to it which makes it even more interesting"
"Customer service representative was amazingly helpful in finding the right product for my project! The leather is beautiful and perfect! I will definitely order again."
"I like working with this leather. I've made several tote bags and small wallets with the leather and all have turned out great."
"A very good large side of chrome tan. Perfect for bags and other things that don’t require rigidity."
"Nice soft leather with a decent over all tempter and tight grain structure. The material has a subtle pull effect and a nice finish (brown crazyhorse). Almost the entire side was usable material for wallet production. Hard to beat the quality for the price."
"Terrific leather at a terrific price"
"The feel of this 5 - 6 ounce leather is firm but supple, and the weight is fairly consistent throughout the side panel. The grain is uniform, with an interesting color distribution."
