Nubuck lining or Veg-tanned full-grain leather for watch lining?

[doingmahresearch]

I'm choosing a lining material for my watch line. Nubuck does feel better on the skin -- are there any benefits to the veg-tanned full-grain leather (more durable?)

And forgive my ignorance here, but nubuck could also be vegetable-tanned right?

Thank you!

Bump, anyone?

Yes nubuck is veg tanned and I don't remember seeing any chrome tanned nubuck. I prefer the nubuck in that application but it can be a bit harder to get a small logo impression with out a laser application in my own experience.The nubuck holds in place nicer and breathes better against the skin.

I have seen a sample with a printed logo on the nubuck, looks pretty good, so hopefully no problems on that end.

 

Really, is nubuck all vegetable tanned?
