Definition of buffalo robes in English English dictionary: plural form of buffalo robe
buffalo robe: A cured bison hide, with the hair left on, used as a blanket or wrap
1920 The snow was too thick and the ruts frozen too hard for the motor. They drove out in a clumsy high carriage. Tucked over them was a blue woolen cover, prickly to her wrists, and outside of it a buffalo robe, humble and moth-eaten now, used ever since the bison herds had streaked the prairie a few miles to the west. — Lewis Sinclair,.
