Suede Jackets

Suede is leather with the nap turned out, and that soft, brushed surface is exactly why it feels less formal and more inviting than smooth leather. This category is for women drawn to texture, a jacket with warmth and a velvety hand that dresses up a simple outfit while still feeling relaxed. It is the leather finish that reads soft rather than sleek.

The silhouettes suede does best

Suede takes beautifully to laid-back shapes. A moto jacket keeps its asymmetric zip and cropped edge but softens the whole attitude in suede. A bomber in suede has an easy, rounded line that works over almost anything. You will also find belted and quilted versions that add shape and a little structure. Goatskin and sheepskin suedes are common because they stay light and supple, so the jacket moves with you.

Choosing color and fit

Suede shows color richly, so it is worth deciding whether you want a versatile neutral like tan, mocha, or brown that layers with everything, or an expressive tone such as blue or green as a statement piece. For fit, a jacket that skims the body flatters most, and lighter suedes feel wearable across more of the year. Custom fit and personalization are available across these styles, with inclusive sizing so the jacket suits your frame.

Caring for suede

Suede is more delicate than smooth leather. Keep it away from rain, brush it with a suede brush to lift the nap and clear light marks, and treat it with a suede protector before first wear. Our suede jacket guide and leather care guide walk through keeping it looking fresh.

Suede biker jackets

The suede biker jacket is the most popular cut here — the same asymmetric zip and cropped shape as a leather moto, but softer and less severe. Suede takes colour beautifully, which is why you will find tan, brown, blue and black rather than just black. All styles are also available made to your measurements.
