Water Buffalo (Black)

This 5–6 oz Water Buffalo in Black is a chrome tanned, smooth top-grain leather with a beautiful, consistent finish that works well for a wide range of leathercraft projects. The surface has been buffed and coated to reduce small imperfections and resist colour transfer, giving it a clean, polished look that still feels natural and tactile.

This leather has a firm feel with good body — perfect for structured bags, backpacks, briefcases, straps, and everyday carry items that need durability without excessive stiffness. The tone and finish make it easy to pair with both bold and subtle hardware choices.

Exact size, shape, and colour of each piece will vary from piece to piece and hide to hide (and also depending on your screen settings). We’ve tried to include multiple photos under different lighting to give you a real sense of colour. Your leather may appear slightly different when you receive it. All hides may contain brands, scars, and bug/fly bites.
