Yes, gamusa or gamosa is suede. Thanks to all...
dencruise Jul 9, 2008:
can't find a definition for "rubbahyde" anywhere. Just a guess, parang play sa mga salitang "rubber hide" or artificial leather made of rubber. I hope this helps.

ribeteng gawa sa gamosa

We commonly know leather as the shiny material used to make shoes. That is one side of the leather. However, the other side of leather skin, known as rubbahyde, is of velvety texture and not shiny. THis is normally used for flat, walking shoes we locally know in the Philippines as "gamosa".
Peer comment(s):

neutral dencruise : "gamosa" is "suede".
