Chamois leather (British pronunciation: 〔Wells, J. (2008) Longman Pronunciation Dictionary, London: Pearson Longman.〕 or American pronunciation: 〔Wells, J. (2008) Longman Pronunciation Dictionary, London: Pearson Longman.〕) — sometimes known as a wash-leather or by the trade name "Shammy" (〔Wells, J. (2008) Longman Pronunciation Dictionary, London: Pearson Longman.〕) — is a type of porous leather that is favored for its gentle, non-abrasive composition and absorption properties. It has a range of uses: * Gloves in the 19th to the first half of the 20th century * Leather jackets, small bags, and pouches * Polishing cloths for jewels or shoes * Filtering fuel * Automotive drying material that is safe on acrylic, lacquer, enamel, and polyurethane paints and clear-coats * Grips on sporting gear — chamois grips are used in field hockey and golf. * General household cleaning * Orthopedics and other medical uses Imitation chamois leather is made using other leathers (such as goat or pig), and synthetic chamois leather is usually made from polyvinyl alcohol or non-woven viscose rayon. == United Kingdom == The British Standard BS 6715: 1991〔(Specification for chamois leather ) Archive.org〕 defines chamois leather as: * Leather made from the skin of the mountain sheep or chamois * Leather made from the flesh split of sheepskin or lambskin, or from sheepskin or lambskin from which the grain (the top split) has been removed by frizing, and tanned by processes involving oxidation of marine oils in the skin, using either solely such oils (full oil chamois) or first an aldehyde and then such oils (combination chamois) 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「chamois leather」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
