About Waxy Distressed Water Buffalo Leather
Waxy Distressed Water Buffalo Leather is a full-grain, chrome-tanned water buffalo leather with a smooth texture, subtle crack effect, and wax pull-up finish. The aniline dyeing and waxy surface give the hide a natural look with color variation and a light sheen, while the soft-medium temper makes it workable for apparel, accessories, and leather goods. Sold as whole hides averaging 36–42 square feet, this leather offers a strong value for projects that require a larger cutting area.
At 1.1–1.3 mm, or approximately 3 oz, Waxy Distressed Water Buffalo Leather is a practical choice for chaps, motorcycle apparel, leather pants, heavier garments, handbags, accessories, and general leather goods. Available in 10 colors, it provides a flexible option for designers, manufacturers, and leatherworkers looking for an economical full-grain hide with a waxy finish, smooth hand, and distressed surface character.
Please Note
Leather is a natural product. We strive to keep new lots within size, color, and quality tolerance, but some hides may have slight variations in size or color, or have natural imperfections such as scars or small holes.
Hide sizes may vary. Leather square footage isn’t measured as a true length-by-width area — it’s based on the hide’s surface area before finishing or shrinkage. Tanneries calculate footage from the raw hide stage and stamp the size on the flesh (back) side of the hide. We use the measurements provided by the tannery, but some variation in actual size is normal.
