Buffalo leather is very tough, almost 2X as much as cow, and is a nice color. That's why its so hard to kill buffalo. The native Americans used it to make vests etc.
Make sure you use products that have been very well tested as these will actually do your leather good and will prolong its life.
Using creams and conditioners on modern leather is now very outdated...
well ... buffalo leather is thicker and more sturdy ... and cowhide is well, thinner a;nd lesss sturdy. but try a beefalo hide. those are thee best ... sturdy, comfy and thick for scratches!!!
