Materials

We make our products with the highest quality materials. Our materials include full-grain leather from American Bison hides, solid brass hardware, Bison wool, stainless steel hardware, and more. If you have questions about what goes into your product, this is the place to find answers.

Solid Brass vs. Plated Belt Buckles: Which Should You Choose?

Choose solid brass if you want brass hardware and its warm appearance; choose a plated buckle when you prefer that finish and the underlying metal suits the design. “Plated” describes a surface finish, not a single quality level. Nickel-plated brass, nickel-plated steel, and an unidentified gold-colored buckle are different products. Compare the base metal, attachment, dimensions, and service options together.

Leather Thickness Guide: Ounces, Millimeters, and Common Uses

Learn how leather thickness is measured in ounces and millimeters, compare common weights and uses, and see how thickness affects flexibility, structure, and bulk.

Is Soft or Stiff Leather Better for a Wallet?

Soft leather is a good choice when you want a wallet that feels flexible in your pocket; firmer leather can suit shoppers who prefer more structure. Neither feel proves better quality. Choose a wallet that bends comfortably, supports its intended contents, and holds cards securely. Judge those qualities together rather than treating softness or stiffness as a durability test.

How Thick Should Leather Be for a Wallet?

Wallet leather should be thick enough to support the design without adding unnecessary bulk where pockets overlap. There is no single best thickness for every wallet. When buying a finished wallet, compare its loaded dimensions, number of layers, pocket layout, and ability to close comfortably. A thick hide alone does not tell you whether a wallet will carry well.

RFID vs. Non-RFID Leather Wallets: Which Should You Buy?

Compare RFID and standard leather wallets by shielding, card access, size, and materials. Find the right Buffalo Billfold Company wallet for your daily carry.
