Real Suede Jackets for Canadian Seasons

Suede is leather with the brushed side turned out, which gives it a soft nap and a matte finish that reads warmer and more relaxed than smooth leather. Every jacket in this collection is real suede, so the nap softens and gains character the more you wear it, which suits the cool, dry days of April, May, September and October when a parka is too much.

Mens Suede Jacket FAQs

Is real suede worth it?

Yes, if you want a jacket that improves with age. Real suede is the brushed underside of leather, so it softens, moulds to you and develops character over time. It needs more care than smooth leather in wet weather, but with a protector spray and a suede brush it lasts for years.

Can you wear a suede jacket in rain or snow?

Light rain and a dusting of snow are fine, but suede should never be soaked. Spray it with a suede protector before the first wear, keep road salt off the hem and cuffs, blot it if it gets wet, let it dry naturally away from heaters, then brush the nap back up.

How do you clean a mens suede jacket?

Brush the nap with a soft suede brush after wear, blot spills straight away with a dry cloth and lift scuffs or salt marks with a suede eraser. Never soak suede; use a specialist suede cleaner for deep stains. Full steps are in our suede jacket cleaning guide.

How should a mens suede jacket fit?

A bomber should sit close at the shoulder and stop at the belt line; a trucker has a straighter, slightly boxy cut. Size up if you plan to layer a hoodie or thick sweater underneath. Take your measurements with our sizing guide and compare them with the size chart on each product page.

What do you wear with a suede jacket?

Brown, light brown and camel suede pair naturally with dark denim, flannel or Oxford shirts, and brown boots. Black suede works over a black tee and black jeans for evenings, and over a fine knit and chinos for the office.

Is a suede jacket better than a leather jacket?

Neither is better, they do different jobs. Suede is softer, more relaxed and dresses down easily, but it needs more care in wet weather. Smooth leather is tougher and handles rain and snow better, which is why many men own one of each. Compare styles in our mens leather jackets collection.
