On the face of it, the suede jacket does not seem the most practical of outerwear choices. Especially when you live on an island with as much rain as Britain does, but don't let that deter you. The suede jacket is an effortlessly stylish pick for men looking to elevate their top layer.
A great transitional piece. Suede has the laidback nature of a leather jacket encased in a soft material that adds visual texture to a gent's outfit. Its matte finish makes it an ideal pick against a simple base layer, and this ease of styling makes it so versatile.
All this understated menswear piece needs is a bit of care to keep it looking its best. Read on to find out how to tend this unique fabric and who has the best options on the market.
If we want to buy a jacket crafted from quality suede, we must be prepared to pay the price. Subsequently, men don't want that outlay wasted after a few wears.
Suede, in essence, is leather with the top cut off. The resulting exposed nape is delicate and susceptible to scuffing and staining. Before you throw on your new suede jacket, ensure it has been given a barrier of protection to wick away any rain or spilt drinks. We use a spray suitable for nubuck and suede in a well-ventilated space. Get into all the nooks and crevices, topping up once a year to keep it fresh. Any stains post-spray should now disappear after being left to dry naturally.
Secondly, men want to remove debris while keeping those fibres silky smooth. A suede brush isn't as abrasive as other models, so when used regularly will present a more polished finish.
After each wear, hang your suede jacket with a sturdy hanger and store away carefully. And voila, your new favourite jacket is ready when you need it.
This jacket is crafted from supple, soft goat leather in a distinctive cognac colour. A classic cut, the ribbed waistline nips in the silhouette to contrast what you wear on the bottom half. Finished with front-patch pockets and slip-inside side ones, it is an understated, relaxed choice.

Technically an overshirt, this is still a nice alternative menswear piece to see you through transitional months and beyond. Wear with a simple tee underneath or layer with knitwear on chillier days. It's versatile with a laidback edge.
Reiss has got the memo and nailed it by delivering durability in an elevated aesthetic. The collar and chest pockets add interest, while the minimalist design makes partnering with the rest of your wardrobe a breeze. Why not try pairing it with formal trousers for an updated business look?
