Cowhide leather

Cowhide-leather

Cowhide leather is very durable and water resistant. Grain leather from selected hides is generally of higher quality than normal cowhide. A cow split is, therefore, a good choice for both light and heavy duty work. A glove in a thick cow split leather is an excellent choice for handling hot objects.
