Best Answer

Cow skin

Answer:

Almost any hide can be tanned to make leather either with the fur on or off. A visit to a cowboy boot shop will have examples of python, alligator, emu. Jacket shops have pig cow, kid, lamb, buckskin, sheep. Horsehide is popular for furniture, hagfish and eel skin for wallets. Eskinoes use wolf, bear, elk, caribou, and dog. The RCMP used buffalo coats.

On the morbid side, there are periodic reports of human hide being made into leather (aside from the cover from H.P. Lovecraft's fictitious Necronomicon)
