Suede

Suede (pronounced /sweɪd/ SWAYD) is a type of leather with a fuzzy, napped finish, commonly used for jackets, shoes, fabrics, purses, furniture, and other items.

Suede leather is made from the underside of the skin,[3] primarily from lamb, although goat, calf, and deer are commonly used.

Splits from thick hides of cow and deer are also sueded, but, due to the fiber content, have a shaggy nap.

Because suede does not include the tough exterior skin layer, it is both less durable and softer than standard "full-grain" leather.

[citation needed] A variety of environmental factors including salt, dirt, water, oils and moisture can stain or wear out suede.
