The term "buffalo split leather" is becoming more and more common in online offerings. Mostly these are office chairs with smooth leather look.

The name "Buffalo" might point to buffalo leather, but it can also be an marketing name, and then it is a normal cow leather.

The part of the name "split" clearly indicates that this is a split leather. Split leather is the lower layer of a thick cow or buffalo leather and is velor and non-smooth on both sides. Since the offered furniture has a smooth surface, a coating was applied to one of the suede leather sides, which has the look of a smooth leather. Such leathers are not as durable as processed leather from the grain side. A further disadvantage is the haptic of the leather. Coated leather feel colder than [[aniline leather|not finished leather] or only lightly coated leather.

In case of split leather, attention must be paid to the price. Split leather is cheap. In case of low price, the price-performance ratio is fair. The reduced life expectancy goes hand in hand with the price.
