Duane,
When we first started looking for a leather chair, and knowing very little about leather at that point, we were looking for one that was in a leather type we had seen previously on a few peices of furniture. it is thick and has a almost nap like feel, it is not suede however.
I am wondering now if that was Nubuck leather?
can you give a fuller description, and a picture would be helpful if you can manage it. We did not end up with that type of leather as you know I don't even remember seeing such a leather in any of the B&Y or the H&M samples that we looked at.
Anyway I gather you don't see too much of it in the leather world, and so you don't hear much about it either.
