Definition
The process of making leather soft and flexible using the chamois method, typically involving fish oils and alum.
Etymology
Present participle of 'chamoise.' This technical term is used in leather-working to describe the specific traditional process that creates the distinctive softness and water-resistance of chamois.
Kelly Says
Fish oil, the secret ingredient in chamoising, isn't fully absorbed into the leather—it stays embedded between the fibers, which is why chamois leather smells distinctly oily and can develop a slight odor over time!
