Napa leather is a leather, typically dyed, made from kid-, cow-, calf-, lamb- or other skin by tanning. It is noted for its soft temper. It is a generic term in the leather field and has no distinct test for characterization. Because of this ambiguity, the term is often used in advertising to imply that a leather has a soft hand. 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, or more likely, corrected grain. Contrast with "nappa," which is a term that is often used for synthetic/faux/fake leather that feels smooth and supple. ==History== Napa leather was first 'coined' by Emanuel Manasse in 1875 while working for the Sawyer Tanning Company in Napa, California.〔(Emanuel Manasse ) - obituary article (1899) and patent (1875), retrieved 11/08/2010 from Ancestry.com〕 Napa tannage in the "strict sense", but a term no longer used in this framework, refers to a tannage consisting of alum salts with vegetable tanning agents. (Napa leather ) is defined in Merriam-Webster's dictionary. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Napa leather」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
