nappa leather

Napa leather (also called nappa leather) is a leather noted for its soft feel, derived from calves, lambs, and kid goats, which have soft hides. It is a generic term in the leather field and has no distinct test for characterization. It generally refers to a soft leather, used in products such as handbags and car seats.
The leather takes its name from Napa, California, where the process of making napa leather was created by Emanuel Manasse, a German tanner working for The Sawyer Tanning Company. This was marketed as "Nap-a-tan", and was a waterproof shoe leather. However, today the term "nappa leather" refers to a soft leather used for bags, clothing and car seats.

    Comfort steering wheel is remarkably... comfortable 😅

    My Urban Comfort came with a steering wheel wrapped in genuine plastic, and it's rather comfortable, surprisingly so! When i test drove the Premium, i really liked the feel of the steering wheel, wrapped in fake nappa leather, similar to the RWD MG4. and i assumed that the Comfort came with it...
