Abstract: A method of producing a leather-like sheet having a deluxe feeling is provided comprising preparing and fully curing a leather-like sheet comprising a porous substrate consisting of a porous layer of elastomer and/or a porous layer of fibrous material and a nonporous coating layer of elastomer coated in a thickness of 0.5 to 50 .mu. on the surface of said porous substrate, crumpling said fully cured sheet in the absence of tension in a liquid medium and, then, drying the crumpled sheet at a temperature not exceeding 100.degree. C. in the absence of tension.
