Chamois leather
The word "chamois" comes from French. The chamois is a goat-antelope. The traditional chamois tanning takes about 1 year. For chamois split leather is used and the tanning method is with fats and oils.
In some countries, the term "chamois leather" is made of sheepskin, lamb skin, deerskin, chamois skin, goat skin, reindeer skin or cow skin. In France and the USA, the term is only in use for split leather of sheep and only when tanned with fats and oils.

Wash leather - Window leather
The term "wash leather" and "window leather" is used for very absorbent leather used for drying wet surfaces on glass and other surfaces.
- Window leather of sheep skin: Sheep leather is rather thinner and does not absorb so much moisture. It is therefore more suitable for wiping off steamed windows and for drying.
- Window leather of deer skin: The ability to absorb water corresponds to a multiple of the own weight. Deer skin as chamois is therefore ideal for all purposes.
