Suede jacket recommendations?

[Jeff M]

Looking for a quality suede jacket, I came across this one from Col. Littleton

Anybody with any experience with this product...other Col. Littleton leather jackets, or other recommendations ?

I have had many suedes over the years. Boar, goat, capybara, and so on. You may also consider nubuck, which has a brushed feel but is more resilient. I like the capybara jackets...they are classy, soft, very durable and handle rain. In any event, I think Argentina has the best suedes, because all their suedes/skins have to measure up to the capybara there. Here's three higher end places from there, I own jackets from each, bought both down there and over the phone. Note that they have many many more styles and suedes than on their websites. Call, they deal with U.S. customers all the time (one warning, tariffs can be high).
