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".
Auf der Fleischseite beschichtetes Lammfell einer Jacke.
Ziegen-Velours wird durch eine Beschichtung geglättet. In der Nahaufnahme erkennt man noch die Struktur.
Die dünne Farbschicht ist empfindlich und macht das Leder abriebempfindlich (Sicherheitsgurt, Trageriemen von Tasche). Die Oberfläche wird in solchen Bereichen dann rau und unschön. Das Rauleder unter der dünnen Schicht kommt wieder durch. Die Beschichtungen gibt es in matt bis glänzend und in unterschiedlichen Festigkeiten.
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.
