suede leather cleaner, how to clean suede leather

Suede leather cleaner

Many people search online for suede leather cleaner, so it would seem like many people don’t know how to clean suede leather. Or they want to find a suede leather cleaner that will clean up their suede leather items.

How do you clean suede leather? Well first you need to understand that suede leather is the split part of leather hide that has not been sanded smooth. Because of this is it very soft with an almost fuzzy feel to it.

Unfortunate that fuzzy surface picks up dirt a lot better than a smooth one. Also the suede fibers can discolor easy from liquids, even plain water. So many people have suede leather apparel and items that need a suede leather cleaner.

For men you can still wear leather vest which are just right for a cool summer night. But ladies have much more types of leather wear they can wear even in the hot months.

Ladies leather vest are one; great for an evening out. They come in many different shapes and styles too, with braids, conchos, fringes and more. Next come halter tops and tank tops made of leather.

New apprciation for leather jackets for warmth

Leather jackets for warmth

Well everyone I’m in Vermont taking my vacation. At the last minute I decided not to bring my leather jacket, thinking it would be hot and I’d never use it. Boy was I wrong!

Having lived in Florida so long I sometimes forget just how nice a warm leather jacket is to keep you toasty. Now those thin fashion leather jackets don’t, those are cold.

But a quality leather jacket with a thinsulate liner inside really does a good job at keeping you warm. The leather makes a fantastic wind breaker, keeping out the wind.

Going on a Vermont vacation soon

Well everyone, it’s about time for a vacation for myself! I’m from Vermont, so every year once it gets summer I go up for a visit. I just can’t stand the cold up there in the winter, but summer is nice up there.

So I’ll be going up there in two weeks. This time I have a camcorder so I’ll take some nice videos of the woods and places up there. I’ll share them on here when I get back. You do want to see my vacation videos, right? 🙂

I’ll take my leather jacket as it still gets cool up there in the evenings. I’ll go up to Stowe and several other places where you can go far up the mountains and see beautiful views.

I’ll take my laptop so I’ll still be working and taking orders, so feel free to order anything while I’m on vacation please! It will be nice to go and see some place different for a bit.

Leather jacket thickness and toughness

Leather jacket thickness

I recently had an email from someone who wanted to know if a leather jacket I had was really tough, not a soft leather jacket. He seemed to indicate that if a leather jacket was soft to the touch it was not a tough leather jacket. So I thought I’d clear up that question in a post today.

How tough, or long lasting a leather jacket is depends on several things, but softness is not one of them. Leather that is soft and flexible to the touch has just been treated very well to get that way. The real test of how rugged a leather jacket is depends on the type of hide, the layer of the hide used and how thick the hide is.

A top grain leather is the layer of hide at the top, where the hair use to be. That layer is the strongest part of the hide. Leather hides are always split into several layers. The layers below the top grain is the split grain leather, which is a bit weaker than the top layer.
