The article elaborates in requisite detail about the uniqueness of the Suede Fabric over leather. It also offers ways and means to effectively protect it from wear and tear.
Suede leather primarily made from the underside skin of animals like lamb, goat, calf and deer is considered a good fashionable alternative to leather. Personally suede is a fabric that I find not only attractive but something that seems to match my own introverted personality. Over the years, I have my own individual collection of suede clothing which includes jackets, pants and my favorite suede shoes.
Being a derivative of its hardbound leather cousin, suede is distinctly different and much sought after for being much thinner and softer. However, if you are long-term suede owner, you will realize that this fabric is special and needs to be well taken care of in the longer run.
This article will explore some of the tried and tested ways of maintaining the suede. Let’s examine them in relevant detail.
Caring for Suede:
On purchasing your suede jacket or shoe, spray them with a good suede protection product available from the range of specialized products available in the market.
Collars of suede garments tend to get dirty relatively quickly, wearers can wear a scarf around their neck to ensure that it doesn’t get quickly dirty.
Packing suede jackets is especially important; care should be taken to allow them breathe. One should never store them in plastic covers, as that chokes the circulation of air.
While travelling, suede materials like jackets and shoes should be kept in a white cotton or flannel bag. One should never use vinyl bags to store suede.
Suede garments should be kept in a cool and dry place away from bright light. It’s been observed that light tends to fade the suede color and dampness causes mildew in the fabric.
To remove major suede stains, one should take the suede fabric to a special suede cleaning professional.
Caring for Suede Shoes:
Every owner of a pair of suede shoes would have a little bit of history attached to it. Well my personal memory is remembering Elvis Presley’s hit number ‘Blue Suede Shoes’ wherein his lines ‘You can do anything, but lay off my blue suede shoes’ are meant literally for suede shoes. Let’s look at the most favorable options used to preserve and long last them.
Suede shoes on getting dirty should be cleaned using a nail file to remove dirt. As displayed in the image above a special brush can be used to remove dirt and scruff marks from suede shoes.
Scruff marks can also be removed using an eraser. There are special suede erasers available in the market, which one can use to remove dirt marks.
Hope the above points aid you in preserving your suede material for lifetime.
