Nubuck Leather Jacket Care

Nubuck is the leather with a slightly different finishing that gives it a velvety texture. Those who dont have hands-on experience with all types of leather might get confused between nubuck and suede. However, Suede comes from the lower part of the animal skin and Nubuck comes from the top part i.e. full-grain. Nubuck is much more durable than the other one and is not that easily damaged by harsh weather conditions. Apart from being extremely popular for clothing, Nubuck is used in furniture, car seat covers, and footwear as well. Maintaining Nubuck can be a bit critical because of the velvety texture. It can be easily scratched as compared to cowhide or sheepskin leather. Nonetheless, the beauty and comfort that it provides are worth every trouble.
