Napped leather (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

suede

'napped leather' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for suede that I've seen before include "Leather with a soft napped surface" , "Brushed leather" , "Undressed kidskin" , "material used in gloves" , "Leather with flesh side rubbed to velvety nap" .)

I've seen this clue in The Star Tribune and the Penny Press.
