This is a full side of waxy water buffalo leather, semi vegetable tanned and milled to a medium-firm temper. The waxed glaze gives a light pull-up, so folds and bends show lighter tones and the hide darkens into a patina with use. It is dyed through, so cut edges keep their color. Compared with chrome-tanned veg-tan sides, it is softer in hand and more forgiving to work, but the natural scars, wrinkles and shade variation mean you plan around markings rather than expect a uniform surface. It suits makers of bags, wallets, belts and straps who want a rugged, characterful hide.

Buyers of this type of waxy buffalo side tend to praise the grain, the pull-up and the soft-but-strong hand, and say it works well for bags and wallets. Complaints center on natural markings and uneven thickness across the side.
This is a full side of waxy water buffalo leather, semi vegetable tanned. It is dyed through, so the color is consistent throughout the hide. The leather is milled for a softer hand, which also shows the natural grain of buffalo leather.
The surface has a waxed glaze finish with a light pull-up effect. Lighter tones show when the leather is folded or worked, and the finish develops character and patina over time. Natural markings, wrinkles, and occasional scratches are part of the hide, so each side looks different.
The temper is medium firm. The leather is suited to tote bags, handbags, briefcases, satchels, backpacks, wallets, card holders, watch straps, belts, footwear projects, and upholstery accents.
