Word origin

The term 'chammy' is derived from the word 'chamois,' which refers to a type of soft leather made from the hide of the chamois, a goat-antelope species found in the mountains of Europe. The use of chamois leather for cleaning and drying purposes dates back several centuries when it was favored by artisans and tradesmen for its absorbent properties. As automotive care became more popular in the 20th century, the chammy gained recognition as an essential tool for car enthusiasts and detailers. Over time, synthetic alternatives to chamois leather have been developed, but the term 'chammy' remains widely used to refer to both genuine leather and synthetic cleaning cloths.
