Historically, Nubuck was made popular by the Duke Of Windsor wearing a pair of Newbuck Oxford shoes during a visit to the United States.  This leather is made from the outer layer of calfskin. The grain layer of the leather is sanded expertly to produce this distinct ultra-fine nap giving it that luxurious look and feel. Nubuck is generally more expensive than suede and is richer in look, and feel. While Suede is made from the inner (less dense) layer of the hide, i.e., from a split, Nubuck is produced from the outer grainy dense and naturally tougher layer of the hide.  The mechanical sanding process, if not done by a skilled technician, can produce imperfections and therefore is very technique dependent.  Nubuck is great for shoes, handbag, belt, etc.
