- Is this jacket real suede?
- The shell is a suede blend that includes elastane, so it is suede-like rather than a pure hide. That blend is what gives it stretch and a softer hand than a stiff suede jacket.
- How does it fit compared with a leather bomber?
- It fits like a standard bomber, but the elastane lets it give across the shoulders and chest. If you are between sizes and want room for a sweater, take the larger one.
- Can I wear it in the rain?
- No. Suede and suede blends spot and stiffen when wet, so keep it for dry days. A suede protector spray helps, but it will not make the jacket waterproof.
- What can I wear under it?
- The polyester lining slides easily over a T-shirt, flannel or light sweater. It is cut for layering, so a bulky hoodie may feel tight.
- How should I clean it?
- Do not machine wash or tumble dry it. Brush off dry dirt and take it to a leather and suede specialist for cleaning.
- What is in the box?
- The jacket only. No hanger, dust bag or care kit is included, so plan to store it on a wide hanger away from direct sun.
- Where is the Lamarque Suede Bomber Jacket cheapest?
