A heavier suede with robust physical properties. In substance 1.1mm - 1.2mm this is a suede which has quite a coarse fibrous finish but always an intense depth of colour.
Whilst the thickness of these skins is not dramatically increased, the density is much greater giving a heavier feel to the product, and also some added strength which facilitates a greater range of use.
Genuine suede is made from the underside of an animal, and the material is buffed to a high sheen. It's supple, warm and less expensive than leather, but also less durable. Silky suede, is a longer-lasting fabric that can be an excellent choice for an elegant look. It is frequently used to make women's and men's jackets, gloves and other Autumn, winter and spring wear.
