Suede
"Animal Nitrate" performers
Suede is leather with a soft, napped surface, made from the inner side of animal hide.
The texture is velvety rather than smooth: suede shoes, a suede jacket.
Suede requires more care than regular leather—it stains easily and doesn't handle water well.
The word comes from French *gants de Suède*, "gloves from Sweden."
