Men's Suede Jackets

The world of fashion has seen some wardrobe essentials emerge: alongside the perfecto, the leather jacket or the blazer jacket, in a different style we find the suede jacket and the nubuck jacket. Suede, or more precisely velvet leather, is one of those materials that has spanned eras without ever becoming old-fashioned. It is found in men's jackets, vests or bombers of all sizes, which give a casual look to a simple jeans and T-shirt combination. This velvety-looking leather goes with all styles: black for bikers, cream or plain brown for a simple but effective everyday look.

Suede and Nubuck: what's the difference?

Whether it's a men's suede jacket or a nubuck jacket, these pieces have the particularity of having a velvety appearance. They are two very soft leathers to the touch, quite similar visually. They often come from cow for nubuck, sheep or goat for suede. Moreover, suede is also referred to as "suede leather" but the exact and correct term is "velvet leather".

The distinction between suede and nubuck is sometimes complex. The latter is finer, and is the product of sanding the outer side of the skin (the grain side). Thus, unlike suede, hair follicles are present, which gives a very pleasant "peach skin" effect on a jacket. This also explains the sometimes high price of beautiful nubuck pieces: a premium leather. Indeed, the skin must be aesthetically perfect to be worked into a jacket or blouson.

Easy care for a suede jacket

But to properly maintain a suede or nubuck jacket, and keep an impeccable style, it is necessary to care for it correctly. More fragile than classic leathers, their color can indeed alter if neglected: it is therefore advisable to avoid exposing them to prolonged sunlight to prevent discoloration, especially around the collar. The finest leathers will require annual degreasing, meaning a combination of waterproofing and gentle cleaning using appropriate tools. As a living material, suede can also benefit from a nourishing treatment that will maintain its elasticity and softness.
