Bison wool is a type of fabric gathered by animal handlers by shearing tamed bison.
Acquisition
Bison wool is acquired by shearing tamed bison - each bison can be sheared every 15 days for 120 wool, for an average of 8 per day.
It can also be purchased from traders.
Analysis
Along with the other wools, bison wool has the second worst protective stats of any textile in the game, tying cloth in sharp/blunt armor, and only beating by virtue of heat armor. But like other wools, bison wool excels against the cold, offering the 8th best cold insulation. In comparison, its heat insulation is poor, at 19th place. Outside of the extreme cold, it may be wiser to use a less insulative, but more protective clothing.
Therefore, wool clothes are largely used in cold biomes, namely in parkas and other heavy clothes. Compared to other wools, bison wool has the worst cold insulation, tied with sheep wool. Bison also have the worst Per Day production of wool while eating more than sheep or alpacas. However your colony might only have bison available, especially if they are already a pack animal.
As furniture, it has a marginally better beauty factor than other common textiles. Care should be taken, as all wools in RimWorld are exceptionally flammable.
Trivia
Contrary to wool in real life, wool in RimWorld is more flammable than cotton, rather than less.
