Timeless Fashion Advice for Men
Nubuck (n.)
A velvet-like leather characterized by a short nap and a soft, wear-resistant finish.
Nubuck is similar to suede however nubuck is made from the outer side of the cowhide whereas suede is made from the underside.
The short nap is created by a sanding process and the final product is labor and dye intensive therefore nubuck is generally more expensive than suede. Typical applications include footwear and belts.
