A leather produced from the skins of sheep which
have hair instead of wool, i.e., straight-haired
sheepskins. The leather is produced in India,
China, South America, and Africa, the best grades
coming from the latter two areas. In the United r
States, the term is generally considered to
indicate specifically a Brazilian sheepskin.
Cabretta is generally chrome tanned and has a very
fine grain and a strong fiber network. (61 , 325 )
