Is leather water-proof?

No, but some is water-resistant. The buffalo hide I use is hot stuffed during the vegetable tanning process, which gives water buffalo its great water-resistant properties. I intentionally use the water-resistant buffalo tannage on items like "The Duck Dog" collar that may come in contact with moisture during long days of duck hunting. Add mink oil to add even more water protection to leather goods but be aware mink oil may darken leather some. Make sure you pat dry and lay out to dry, out of direct sunlight after coming in contact with excessive water. Leather may become stiff after exposed to excessive water and not dried and cared for properly.
