Suede Leather
Suede leather has a soft, napped surface with a matte, velvety look. Our suede pieces include a brown suede jacket with a cream collar, a grey suede bomber with rib-knit trim, and black and olive suede western chaps with fringe.
Wearing and caring for suede
Suede is best kept for dry days: water can mark the nap, so blot any spots with a dry cloth and let them dry naturally before brushing. A suede brush lifts the nap and removes dust, and a suede eraser deals with small marks. Avoid cream conditioners made for smooth leather.

Frequently asked questions
What is suede?
Suede is leather with a napped finish, usually made from the inner side of the hide. It feels soft and looks matte, but it is more delicate than smooth leather.
Can suede get wet?
It is best to keep suede dry. If it does get wet, blot off excess water with a clean cloth, let it dry naturally away from heat, then brush the nap back up with a suede brush.
How do I clean suede?
Brush it regularly with a suede brush to lift dust. Rub small marks gently with a suede eraser, and take heavy stains to a leather specialist.
