It was Ricardo that made it a household phrase not the advertising company.

Could be! 😃 I'm curious, too

[@christopheryellman533]

Not so much as a goat has been seen in Corinth since those days when its leather was so highly valued.

What about the difference between suade and nubuck

[@internationalleatherclub]

Suede is essentially a leather sanded to expose and raise the fibers from the middle layers of a hide. While nubuck is essentially the sanded and raised fibers from the top grain layer of the leather - resulting in shorter and slightly stronger fibers usually found in nubuck vs longer and more flexible fibers in suede).
