We work with cowhide and buffalo because both hold up to the wear vests actually take — patch-mounting, snap-pulling, daily-on-and-off use. Stitching is double-locked at stress points. Hardware is metal. The leather is heavy enough that the vest holds shape after years of wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're building a vest you'll wear for the next decade, start here.
