Men's Suede Jackets — Real Suede

Men's Suede Jackets — Real Suede & Faux Suede

Decrum's men's suede jackets start with real suede — the napped side of a genuine leather hide, in trucker and bomber cuts. Alongside them sits a faux suede line: lighter, easy-care, and labelled as faux so you always know what you're buying. Free UK delivery, no retail markup.

What makes Decrum's real suede jackets last for years?

Real suede is the brushed inner split of a genuine leather hide. It has a soft matte nap, a slight two-tone shift when you run a hand across it, and it settles into a patina in the places you wear it most. Decrum's real suede line runs to trucker and bomber cuts plus a quilted style, each with a soft lining and a smooth zip front.

What is Decrum's faux suede made from?

New to this collection: a faux suede line in soft synthetic microfibre with the same matte nap. It is not leather, and we never sell it as leather — every faux style carries the word in its product title. What it gives you is a lighter jacket that handles a grey British afternoon without drama, wipes clean with a damp cloth, and sits at a much lower price, which makes it an easy first jacket or a second colour you do not have to think about. If you are weighing the two, read faux leather vs real leather.

What cuts and colours are available in men's suede jackets?

Real suede covers men's leather trucker jackets and men's leather bomber cuts plus a quilted jacket, in light brown, brown, dark brown and black. Faux suede widens the range to men's leather biker jackets, men's cafe racer leather jackets, men's Harrington leather jackets, hooded bomber, western-yoke and men's leather blazer styles in black, dark brown and light brown.

How should a men's suede jacket fit?

Both lines are cut on the same patterns, with a modern close fit through the chest and shoulder. Measure your chest in inches and match it to the size guide rather than going by your usual label size. If you plan to layer a jumper or a heavy knit underneath through winter, email us and we will confirm the right size before you order.

How do I care for a suede jacket?

Real suede wants a suede brush, a protector spray and a dry wardrobe. It is not waterproof, and a soaked nap needs to dry slowly, away from a radiator. Faux suede is far less fussy — a damp cloth and air drying is usually all it takes, which counts for something in a British autumn. Our care guide covers both, and the real suede buying and styling guide goes deeper on what to expect from the nap over the first year.

Which One Should You Buy?

Choose real suede if you want a jacket that ages in your favour and you are happy to keep a brush in the wardrobe. Choose faux suede if you want the look at a lower spend, in a lighter weight, with almost no upkeep — and if it is going to spend its life on a damp commute. The fit carries across both, so the size you take in one is the size you take in the other. Still deciding on material? Suede vs leather breaks down how each one wears.
