Women's Suede Jackets

A unique look with a women's suede jacket

There are timeless fashion items that will always be safe bets. This is the case with the women's suede jacket or nubuck jacket. In a bomber version or in a perfecto style, suede, or rather velvet leather, has a lightness that no other material can envy. It can even be found on longer garments such as coats. This velvety-looking leather blends wonderfully with various styles: casual, bohemian, or dressier for some jackets. With jeans, chinos, or even leather trousers, suede and nubuck adapt! Although beige, brown, or black remain the most common colors for suede jackets, this leather comes in many other colors: olive, cognac, khaki, red, or orange. Warm colors that are perfect for mid-season.

What are the differences between suede and nubuck?

"Suede," nubuck, velvet leather, buckskin—it can sometimes be difficult to distinguish between all these terms. However, they all refer to velvety-looking leathers. But there are still subtleties and differences. Often, the terms suede and buckskin are approximations of language; one should actually speak of velvet leather. Between a "suede" jacket and a nubuck jacket, there are notable nuances. While both finishes have pleasant and silky feels, the major difference between the two is the treated and used surface of the skin. For nubuck, it involves superficial sanding on the grain side of the leather, meaning the outer part of the skin. For velvet leather, it involves the flesh side (inner part of the skin) in its original state. Therefore, the highest quality skins are used for nubuck jackets.

Caring for your suede jacket

To ensure the longevity of a suede or nubuck jacket, it is important to care for it correctly. These finishes are more delicate than classic leathers. Indeed, their color is more sensitive to light and can fade if neglected. Also, they should be avoided from prolonged exposure to sunlight. To protect them from rain, they should be waterproofed with a waterproofing spray. Repeat this operation approximately every six months.
