Is buffalo leather better than cow leather?

Yes, Buffalo leather is better than cow leather but for specific use cases. American Bison are wild animals that rough house in nature. That means a bison hide contains more scars and scuffs than a cow hide. This decreases the yield in full-grain leather from American Bison, which increases our cost to work with it. But it also offers many benefits to the customer, so we choose to work with Bison leather. Other benefits buffalo leather has over cow include lower carbon emissions, more natural raising practices, and a better quality of life for the animal. These things are important to us.

Switched to a ridge a few years ago, finally switched back to a true leather wallet and wish I had purchased a lot sooner.

This is an excellent wallet, but I wish it were a little smaller version ( 1/2" in lenght and wt) of the same model. If you make one like this, I'll be back.
