How to Care for Goat Suede Jackets (So They Last Years)

A suede jacket isn’t just outerwear—it’s an investment in timeless style. At SOLID essentials, we use premium goat suede for its softness and durability. With the right care, your jacket will stay rich in texture and color for years. Here’s your step-by-step guide.

Why Goat Suede?

• Soft, lightweight comfort that feels natural.

• Durable nap compared to calf suede.

• Luxurious matte finish that elevates any outfit.

That’s why it’s the cornerstone of our Winter 26 outerwear collection.

What to Avoid

Keep your jacket away from:

• 🚫 Heavy rain and snow

• 🚫 Direct heat (radiators, hairdryers)

• 🚫 Oils, perfumes, and food stains

Routine Care

• Brush weekly: Use a suede brush to remove dirt and revive the nap.

• Air it out: Hang in a ventilated area after wear.

• Spot clean: Use a suede eraser for small marks.

Stain Playbook

• Water stains: Dab gently with a suede sponge, let dry naturally.

• Oil/grease: Apply corn starch overnight, brush off in the morning.

• Mud: Let it dry, then brush away with care.

👉 For deep stains, trust a professional suede cleaner.

Storage & Off-Season Care

• Hang on a padded hanger to keep shape.

• Store in a breathable garment bag (never plastic).

• Add cedar blocks to keep away moisture.

When to Call a Professional

Every 12–18 months, or after a heavy stain, send your jacket to a leather/suede specialist. This ensures longevity and keeps the fibers strong.
