Is nubuck leather waterproof?

Nubuck leather is a buffed down version of full grain leather that resembles a very fine, but durable, suede. Like leather, nubuck is naturally water resistant to a small amount of water, however it needs further waterproofing from a spray. Suede is very easily ruined by water, which causes stains on its surface.

What is the difference between nubuck and suede?

Nubuck, unlike suede, is made from the outside of a hide, which means it’s a more durable, long-lasting material, and can withstand more scuffing than your average suede. It’s historically made with the buckskin of a deer or elk, but modern nubuck is often made with calfskin, which is super soft.

Is nubuck better than leather?

Because nubuck is made from top-grain leather, it is more durable and tough compared to suede. It is also more durable than bicast leather or bonded leather, which do not use the top-grain portion of the hide. However, it is more vulnerable to soiling and staining than other leathers due to its rough surface.

Can nubuck get wet?

Nubuck does darken if it gets wet, but while suede can be permanently damaged from even splashes of water, nubuck will return to its original colour as the water dries.
