The suede fabric is made of suede wool as raw material and then processed. Suede is the skin of suede. The fibrous structure of suede is very closely arranged, so it is very thick and even thicker than sheepskin after being made into cloth. , but because suede is relatively rare, most of the products on the market are imitation suede. Because the production technology is relatively advanced, imitation suede is very similar to real suede, so it is gradually accepted by consumers.

The advantages of suede fabric:
As a high-end fabric, suede is generally used to make high-end clothing such as coats. The cloth surface is delicate and soft to the touch and has a waxy feeling. Suede coats are very comfortable and very windy after wearing. Then, suede has a good thermal insulation effect. If you wear it in winter, it can resist the cold. In addition to producing coats, it can also be used to produce leather shoes, sofas and other items.
