Show Cape for Men's Gloves Cape is the leather most frequently used in men's standard glace or grain leather gloves, and also for the heavier types of women's strap-wrist and short gloves. The name signifies a South African skin, but it has also come to lie applied to Russian, French, Spanish, Turkish, Greek and domestic leathers, ranging in value in the order named. The stock is finished with a chrome alum tannage which makes it washable, wash-able, and consequently weatherproof. Although most of the skins described under the. term "cape" are often called lambs, the term is most frequently applied ap-plied to French lamb, which is used in a manner similar to kid. French lamb skins are of high quality, but they lack the close grain and the wearing quality qual-ity of kid. Exchange. |
