What’s the difference between leather and faux-leather?

There are always differences between leather and faux leather, and there are also pros and cons for both. However, it really does depend on your personal preference.

Leather is often made from animal hides such as cowhide, or even buffalo or oxen hides. However, faux leather is usually constructed from a plastic base and treated with wax, dye or even polyurethane which creates the colour as well as the smoother texture.

Buffalo leather for boxing gloves

With animal leather, each hide is genuinely unique. Buffalo leather often has individual characteristics which feature distinctive looks. However, faux leather is uniform as it is constructed synthetically.

With boxing gloves, Buffalo leather can be more comfortable as it is highly durable as well as offering flexibility and control of odours and moisture too.

One of the greatest advantages of Buffalo leather is it’s durability as stated above. Real animal leathers last for years and become damaged only after a substantial amount of wear.
