**4.3 Synthetic game leather**

Synthetic game leather and leather products are today produced industrially in Japan by impregnating nonwovens produced from PET, PA, PAN microfibers with polyurethane. These products offer outstanding advantages as against natural leather and game leather in terms of uniformity, dimensional stability, ease of care, color fastness and low mass (Rupp & Yonenaga, 2000). Microfiber suede fabrics are used in upholstery due to their elegant look, comfortable feel and easy care and clean properties.
