Alberta Faux Suede Bubble Jacket vs Bernardo Suede Bubble Jacket

The Bernardo is the better jacket if you want real suede and a high collar that blocks wind. The Alberta is the better pick if you want an oversized, cropped look and don't mind faux suede. Owners of the Alberta call it cosy and warm, but faux suede pills and creases faster than real suede. The Bernardo costs more to own over time because genuine suede needs a leather specialist, not a washing machine.

• Choose the Alberta Faux Suede Bubble Jacket if you want an oversized cropped silhouette, a classic collar and a jacket you can machine wash at home.
• Choose the Bernardo Suede Bubble Jacket if you want genuine suede, a high collar that seals out wind and a jacket that ages rather than wears out.
