Looking for our Craft Grade Buffalo Hides?
Our Economy Grade Buffalo Hides are the same high-quality hides that were formerly known as ‘Craft Grade.’ We’ve updated the name and our grading to more transparently reflect their quality. We found that our craft grade hides were often higher quality than the “Second Quality” or “Summer Hair” hides sold elsewhere. The product itself hasn’t changed—these hides still offer the same rustic charm and unique character, perfect for a wide range of uses.
