English term or phrase: SPLIT-GRAIN (leather)
"A hide has different characteristics, depending on which part of the animal it comes
from. The back and shoulders provide extra strong leather, the side provides a softer
quality. Prior to manufacture the hide is split into two layers. The outer layer is called
full-grain or nappa, the inner layer split-grain."

Salve,

mi sembra di capire che la pelle "full-grain" è la pelle "pieno fiore", e "nappa" rimane nappa. Come si chiama quindi lo strato interno, lo "split-grain"? Pelle "a grana..."? Oppure?

Grazie, non lo trovo da nessuna parte...

Flavio, "crosta" è "split-grain leather".
Se vuoi dire "split-grain leather bag" è "borsa in crosta".
Che poi abbia subito un trattamento di scamosciamento, è un altro paio di maniche.
