Nappalan leather is leather, were a thin layer of colour has been applied to a nubuck or suede. Usually suede leather of goats or lambs for clothing leather are finished this way. It makes the surface smooth as with top grain leather. Such leathers are very soft and particularly light weight. They are referred to as "silk leather" and the finish is called "nappalan coating". On the internet, the term napalan leather with one "p" also sometimes appears.
Nappalan coatings can be applied to the flesh side of a fur or to suede without fur. Such leather sometimes is called "Nappato leather".
On theflesh side coated lambskin of a jacket.
Goat suede is smoothed by a coating. In the close-up, the base structure can still be seen.
The thin color layer is sensitive and makes the leather wear-sensitive (safety belt, carrying strap from bags). The surface is then visible rough in such areas. The roughness of the suede under the thin layer comes back through. The coatings are available in dull to glossy.
The surface can be re-roughened with little mechanical stress.
Gleiches gilt für die Reinigung. Insbesondere bei der Reinigung auf Basis von Lösungsmitteln kann sich die Beschichtung auflösen, und die gesamte Jacke ist danach wieder rau. Eine Rettung ist dann nicht mehr möglich.
