Here's everything you need to know about this leather and why these boots are so fabulous. One of the central contenders for the title of most durable leather comes in the form of kangaroo leather. Generally, one of the main cons of kangaroo leather is the fact that it is so that it is so thin. Sure, this loss of thickness doesn't necessarily impact the overall strength of the hide, though it certainly can if you are purchasing hide of lesser quality. Just as with, say, goat leather or ostrich leather, kangaroo leather is considerably more expensive than cowhide leather, often averaging around double the price. And for good reason, cow leather may be iconic, but it is by no means a soft leather like kangaroo hide is. Stored in my smoke free home.
