wash-leathern.

Etymology: < wash v. Compare German waschleder (perhaps from English.) According to some writers the material is so called ‘from the fact that it may be easily washed’ ( Encycl. Brit. ed. 9 XIV. 390). But the obsolete synonyms washen, washed leather suggest that the original reference may have been to the ‘washing’ which is an important part of the process of manufacture.

a. A soft kind of leather, usually of split sheepskin, dressed to imitate chamois leather.
