Suede Testing

Suede, also known as fuzzy leather, napped leather, is a type of leather with a fuzzy, napped finish, made from the underside of animal skins or a similar synthetic material. It is commonly used for shoes, jackets, gloves, hats, bags, apparel lining, seat covers, belts. Compared to normal leather, suede is lack of durability, but is softer more permeable, which makes it more suitable to make clothing. Suede leather is popular in upholstery, shoes, bags, and other accessories, and as a lining for other leather products.
