Description

Water Buffalo Suede offers a rare combination of rugged durability and soft, velvety texture. Tanned from premium whole water buffalo hides, this suede showcases the natural strength of water buffalo while delivering a supple feel that leathercrafters love.

Unlike traditional suede, water buffalo suede is naturally more water resistant, making it a smart choice for items that need to hold up to everyday use without sacrificing style. The 4/5 oz weight provides excellent versatility—substantial enough for bags, footwear, and accessories, yet flexible enough for apparel accents and lined goods.

Difference

For maximum softness, suede is chrome tanned. The time involved and expense of veg tanned leathers led to the development of chrome tanning in the mid-1800s. Chrome tanning takes about a day in contrast to the one to three-month veg tanning process, making it a more economical choice. Today, about 80-90% of the world’s leather supply is chrome tanned and it is heralded for its stain and water resistance as well as its consistency in color.

Quality surpasses price here for W. Buffalo suede

"The price is great and the quality is great for suede water buffalo hide, its exactly what I needed and I am quite excited to use it in upcoming projects. The hand is soft and supple as you may expect, and the (color I ordered was chocolate brown) dye was even throughout the hide with minimal blemishes. I received a hide that was nearly entirely uniform in its grain as well, which may have been fortunate, but I am quite remarkably pleased with this hide for the price. ( I did purchase it during the Memorial weekend sale (20% discount), but even at its non-sale price, I feel its quite fair for the quality and especially quantity."
