What does NAPPA mean in Scrabble?
noun
A soft, supple leather, typically made from sheepskin or goatskin through a special tanning process, used for gloves, clothing, and upholstery.
Nappa leather is prized for being thinner and more pliable than heavier hides, which makes it comfortable against the skin and popular for jackets, gloves, and car interiors. The tanning method that produces it was developed in Napa, California, in the late nineteenth century, and the place name gradually settled into the lower-case word for the leather itself. Manufacturers now use nappa loosely for various soft, finished leathers regardless of where they are tanned.
