Fortunately, caring for suede isn’t all that complicated. If you opt for roughout suede, the toughest and heaviest form of cowhide suede, you can treat it much the same as you would a denim jacket, letting the fabric take on its own patina as it molds to your body over time. If, however, you’re going for something more refined (like, say, goatskin or calfskin suede) you’re going to want to give it a regular once-over with a suede brush and an annual all-over spritz with a good-quality protective spray. With that taken care of, you’ll be free to enjoy the distinctively luxurious-yet-easygoing vibe that only a great suede jacket can impart.
