What Is Nubuck Leather?

The top grain of the animal hide is used in the making of nubuck leather which is why it’s more durable as compared to suede. Both have a similar feel to it but the difference mostly lies in the characteristics. A number of high-end fashion brands use nubuck to produce world-class leather products. The outermost layer of calfskin is used to make nubuck jackets and bags. This is one of the main reasons behind its resistance against water and heat damage. The outer layer of the animal skin may contain some imperfections but these natural scars make it more real and give it a vintage look.

Nubuck is a type of leather that is made from the outer layer of animal hide. The top grain layer contains a number of extraordinary features including toughness that protects it from damage along with a vintage vibe. The hide is buffed and sanded after the tanning process to provide a consistent look and texture. Real leather in its natural form is more durable as compared to the Nubuck but cheaper. So the people who don't want to spend a lot on their leather jackets but are looking for an unmatchable comfort, Nubuck is perfect for them.

Slightly tougher and more durable than suede leather. Nubuck is pure leather, unlike bonded leather which is why the quality is high grade and lasts for a long time. However, rough, scarred and velvety outer surface is more vulnerable to damage. If treated regularly, you can enjoy it for a really long time.

Nubuck leather is usually used in the making of shoes hence the cleaning process is different than that of leather jackets and bags. Always make sure to clean your shoes before putting them in the closet after a long day. Remove laces before cleaning and use products that are specifically designed for leather. Use lukewarm water to rub off the dirt, then apply leather cleaner followed by a moisturizer. Nubuck generally doesn’t need to be conditioned which makes it easier to maintain. When it comes to maintaining a nubuck leather jacket, always store them at moderate room temperature and use a padded hanger to hang them.

Since nubuck is natural leather, it contains basic qualities of being water and heat resistant to some extent.
