How to identify Nubuck Leather?
1. Feel the leather. The surface should have a texture similar to velvet. Move your hand across the surface of the leather to see if it leaves traces similar to the effect when you vacuum a carpet in one direction and then in another. If it does, the leather is nubuck.
2. The water test. Wet your finger and rub it lightly on an inconspicuous area of the leather. The surface will darken and will remain a slightly darker colour when it dries.
Nubucks leather is often mistaken for suede. Nubuck is not suede. Suede is the flesh side of a piece of leather, while nubuck is an effect achieved by modifying the grain side of the leather.
What is Nubuck?
Nubuck is aniline leather that has had its surface buffed or sanded. Buffing removes the grain, or skins surface, of the leather. This makes nubuck leather incredibly soft and it gives it a texture similar to velvet. But, it also makes nubuck the most difficult leather to maintain.
Nubuck leather feels velvety soft and luxurious. Like aniline leather, nubuck readily adjusts to ambient temperature and moisture. It feels warm in winter, and cool and dry in summer.
Nubuck leather is made from high quality hides, so it can be very expensive.
High maintenance: like aniline, nubuck doesn't have a protective topcoat, and, because the grain has been removed, it is highly absorbent and highly susceptible to staining.
Difficult to repair: minor damage can be repaired. But, because the repair can't be covered using leather pigment, there will be a visible scar.
Susceptible to fading: Like aniline leather, nubuck tends to fade.
