Is there any difference between "wash-leather" and "chamois leather"?
editWould it be fair to say that "wash-leather" and "chamois leather" are synonyms?

- Yes. Synonyms do not have to be absolutely exact. SemperBlotto (talk) 15:49, 19 September 2017 (UTC)
- Chambers defines wash-leather as "split sheepskin prepared with oil in imitation of chamois; a piece of this for washing windows; buff-leather for regimental belts". Equinox ◑ 15:50, 19 September 2017 (UTC)
