The rumen of a cow's stomach can also be processed into a type of leather, which is very rare. It has a three-dimensional hexagonal honeycomb structure which makes the leather both striking and unusual. The edges of this hexagonal structure can be ironed down as with salmon leather and can be provided with a colour layer. This makes the surface smoother, less sensitive and easier to clean and care for.

Rumen leather has been offered for sale on the internet as udder leather. But this was a mistake as processed cow udder is not known. Processed Bull testicles however, are known.
