Chamois leather
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
(Redirected from "Chamois leather")
Chamois leather is leather made from the skin of the chamois, although the term is also commonly used to refer to cloths made from the skin of other animals or a synthetic material version. Its most common use is in automobile washing and auto detailing, where it may be known as a "shammy" cloth. Its water absorbency makes it good for other uses such as in cycling shorts, although most modern cycling shorts use synthetic chamois leather.
