Suede" is a leather that wears luxurious beauty and produces a sophisticated style.

Suede leather jacket" has a casual or modern image, but it is a versatile leather wear that can be used for formal or classic occasions, depending on the items to match, because it has both elegance and grace in the expression of its fur.

It is also useful for daily coordination because it is not hard and can be worn in any season.

In this page, we introduce "Calf Suede" and "Suede Horsehide" series released by STRUM.

What is suede leather?

Suede leather refers to leather whose back side (floor surface) has been rubbed with sandpaper or a file to make it short and raised.
There are inexpensive suede leathers that only have the silver side removed, but "STRUM" uses suede leather with the silver side left on the back side, making it a more durable material.

Suede that has been thoroughly prepared is called "silky," and the shorter the bristles and finer the texture, the higher the quality.
All of "STRUM" suede leathers are finished based on "Silky".

In Japan, it is widely known as a standard material for fall and winter, but we are particular about its light, smooth, soft, and delicate finish so that it can be used in spring and early summer as well.

Please enjoy STRUM's leather jackets using "calf suede" and "sheep suede," which are characterized by their delicacy and elegant expression, and "suede horsehide," which is finished with a tasteful expression by making the most of bloodstains and unique fur.

Suede horsehide" with a tasteful look by making the best use of bloodstains and scratches

Suede horsehide" has a tasteful look by daring to leave bloodstains, some scratches, and uneven dyeing peculiar to horsehide.

The bloodstains, scratches, and uneven dyeing add shading to the leather's expression and create a deep atmosphere.

The suede surface is carefully papered to give it a delicate and elegant look.

The thickness of the leather is 1.0 mm.

What are blood vessels?

Chisusuji is a scar on the leather left by blood vessels that used to run under the skin. Some are faintly visible on the silver surface, while others appear in the fibrous layer on the floor, and both have a vein or lightning-like pattern.

Horsehide is more noticeable than cowhide, and this bloodstain is usually avoided. STRUM dares to make the best use of this bloodstain in cutting the leather to make it look like leather.

Japan calf suede" has a smooth and elegant texture.

Japanese calf suede is chrome-tanned in Japan. This leather has the strength, suppleness, and lightness that only chrome can provide.

The suede surface is carefully peppered to give it a delicate and elegant look.

The thickness of the leather is 0.8mm.

Care of suede

Many people think that suede is bad when it gets wet because of its fluffy look. This is true. That's right. When it gets wet, it leaves rain stains and ruins the smooth look.

However, the fix is actually quite simple. A leather brush (whether pig or nylon) can be used to clean up the stain.

First, brush the rain stain gently against the bristles, then lightly brush along the bristles, and that is enough to make the bristles stand firm and restore the original condition.

However, if the stain becomes more than that, it will have to be washed with a neutral detergent to remove it, and in the case of light-colored suede, you need to be careful about color fading, etc.

If you want to keep your suede as clean as possible, it is best to brush it frequently.
