Is this jacket warm enough for winter?

No. It is built for spring and autumn. The suede blocks wind and adds some warmth, but it has no insulation, so winter wear needs a sweater underneath or a heavier coat over it.

How does the slim fit run?

It is cut close to the body through the shoulders and chest. If you plan to layer a thick knit underneath, consider sizing up; for shirts and light dresses, your usual size should fit.

Can I wear it in the rain?

Better not. Suede absorbs water, spots and stiffens when wet. Treat it with a suede protector before wearing and carry an umbrella or a shell jacket on wet days.

How should I clean suede?

Brush it dry with a suede brush and spot-clean marks with a suede eraser. Avoid washing machines and harsh detergents, and take it to a specialist cleaner for deep stains.

What do I wear it with?

It suits layered shirts, midi dresses, straight-leg jeans and boots. The cropped length works best with high-waisted bottoms that keep the proportions balanced.
