The vendor says it works primarily with cowhide and water buffalo hide, much of it vegetable-tanned, but does not disclose the country of origin for hides, tanning, or hardware. Water buffalo hide is not commercially raised or tanned in Canada, so it is treated as imported; cowhide and hardware are split between North American and other sources as a rough estimate rather than a sourced figure.
