Sorry to raise this question again but does anyone actually know what "Nevada Calf" by Church's is ?? I have a pair of their brogues in this calf and was just wondering if any of our experts know ? And they also call one of their leathers as "Appaloosa Calf????" too any ideas ?

I think Church’s “Masterclass” range of some fifteen years ago was in ‘Nevada-Calf’. If ‘Nevada’ is the leather I think it is, then it is a very slightly embossed calf with the look of a very fine craquelure across the leather.
Appaloosa-Calf is a calf leather, made to look like shell cordovan (at least when new). Hence the reference to a horse breed (C&J calls it ’Cavalry-Calf).
