Napa leather is a leather, typically dyed, made from goat-, cow-, calf-, lamb- or other skin by tanning. It is noted for its soft hand. It is a generic term in the leather field and has no distinct test for characterization. Among other uses, napa leather is often used in leather products such as furniture, clothing, handbags, and shoes. As the term is used today, napa leather may be either natural grain[clarification needed] or, more likely, corrected grain.[clarification needed]
Notes
- Napa gloves are made from tawed[clarification needed] leathers and tanned leathers.
