The hides are a full 6-8oz. chrome with a vegetable re-tannange to give the hides a bit more body. They are tanned in Milwaukee, Wisconsin (USA) from bison hides that originated in North America. The leather goes through a complex tanning process that shrinks the hide to enhance the already bold natural grain of bison. The hides are sprayed with a wax prior to applying a touch on a "hot chromed mirror plate" to give them a unique, glassy sheen. The pebbled grain is not compromised and is 100% natural. The finish of the leather has a subtle but sleek sheen with a two-toned "tipping" effect. In our classic "Walnut" color you will see browns & tans all in the same hide. It is a full 6-8oz. in weight and like most bison leathers, extremely durable and tanned and finished in the USA. We use only genuine American Bison leathers, tanned in the US.  Although the terms are interchanged often, there is a distinct difference between “American Bison” and “Buffalo”.  Whether intentional or not, you will see companies using “Buffalo” leather in a way that implies they are using “Bison” leather, with logos and brands of the American Bison in their marketing. The fact is, these are two completely different animals that are indigenous to different continents and have nothing in common.  The American Bison is indigenous only to North American, primarily USA and CANADA. The “BUFFALO” is either the Water Buffalo primarily from Asia and the Cape Buffalo found in Africa. Neither of which is related to the American Bison, nor do they have the same leather characteristics or value. Buffalo leather is quite inexpensive, does not have the natural “Bison” grain or the durability and strength of American Bison.  If you want a product that is distinctly American, rugged, durable and unique, buy genuine American Bison products.
