English term (edited): oiled calf leather

I did a search on “oil-calf leather” because I had never heard the expression. Of the 23 hits on Yahoo.com only one had “oil calf leather.” 15 hits contained the expression “easy to oil calf leather” and 3 hits had “easy-to-oil calf leather,” which confirms my belief that the source document is in error. There is also no “oil leather.” There are products used to oil leather such as "Kiwi" Neatsfoot Oil Leather Protectant which make it appear like there is so that advertisers say strange things like, “Premium Hard Brown Oil Leather-Large Thin” (http://store.accessorygeeks.com/prhabroillet1.html) for a cell-phone cover and everyone ends up confused.

Since "easy to oil" doesn't go with the information that you have given, my suggestion is that you go with a translation for “oiled calf leather.” The phrases that I have posted are the ones that I came across in my research.
