Cleaner

[KevDen2005]

No, I don't need to off anyone.....yet...

But I do have some dirt on my suede jacket and wonder what everyone's opinion on the best cleaner for suede would be. Looked a lot of products and looked at reviews and I can't decide. So now I am getting you involved, the most obnoxious and argumentative group of people I have ever associated with. I want to harness your natural ability to disagree with everyone to lead me in the right direction.

More dirt.

How's that for playing against type?

Apologies I don't have anything more constructive to offer at this time. See if I can find the name of the kit I use on all my shoes & jackets when I get home later this week. It works very well and so you know, I'm a little snobby about the condition of my shoes.

Curious, what kind of dirt?

Looks like mud....Unfortunately it was in the truck bed while road tripping across the country.

While I have no meaningful or useful advice as to how to clean the jacket, in the true spirit of the jackassery you alluded to in your post I?ll just leave this.

Suede? I thought people quit wearing suede in like 1978?

Your nearest "Dependable Cleaners" or JONVAL Leathers.

I dont have suede but my leather jackets I usually just wear them around after brushing off the big stuff. They seem to naturally shed the mud and dirt.

Suede brush to start with, if that doesn’t do it seek a professional leather cleaning service.

A professional leather cleaner can work miracles. The local tailor shop when I lived in Florida could take a dirty, sun cracked motorcycle jacket and make it look new. Around here, I might look to a saddle and tack shop for that sort of restoration work.

For a more workaday solution, I use Chamberlain's Leather Milk cleaner and conditioner to clean and treat my shop apron and other leather goods when they look particularly dirty and/or dessicated. Does not do magic, but does keep things clean and supple, and will buff out light scratches.

A local cobbler might also be able to help or suggest something.
