Our Smooth Baby Water Buffalo Calf Leather is a versatile, refined leather with a smooth surface, natural grain character, and medium temper. Chrome tanned and vegetable retanned, it offers a combination of softness, body, and durability suitable for a wide range of leather goods.
At just 0.8–1.0 mm thick and averaging approximately 10 square feet per hide, this leather is an excellent choice for projects requiring a supple yet durable leather with a clean, elegant appearance.
Made from baby water buffalo calf skins sourced from India, each hide has its own natural character and variation.
Grade A
Grade A hides have a clean 2' × 2' center cutting area, making them ideal when a large, uninterrupted section of leather is needed. Natural markings or minor imperfections may be present outside of this designated center area.
Grade B
Grade B hides may have scars, scratches, holes, or other defects within the 2' × 2' center cutting area. These hides are a more economical option for smaller cutting patterns or projects where cuts can be positioned around natural imperfections.
