English term or phrase: the nap of the suede
This will stop dust and grit collecting in the nap of the suede. Det rör sig om vård av mockaskor.
Kan man verkligen tala om lugg eller ludd när det gäller mocka?

  -> Nej du har rätt!
agree  Johanna Rebillon: Röstar på fransar. Har aldrig hört talas om lugg på mockaskor. Även om det heter så, officiellt. Skriv så folk begriper: fransar!
34 mins
  -> Sven har rätt i det här fallet! Mockaskinnet har en luggig yta
neutral  Rottie (X): Inte fransar; det handlar om mockans naturligt "luggiga = råa" yta.
