Found: real suede jackets(in my closet)

I thought I disposed of all my real and faux leather and suede ... but I forget about two REAL SUEDE jackets that I kept (and really love). Both came from QVC ... many years ago.

One is a light beige suede blazer (Look East label - made in China) with a charcoal-like scenic sketch on the back. It's your typical Chinese scene of cliffs overlooking a stream.
I don't know how I forgot about it! I didn't wear it very often because someone always stopped me and asked about it.. So, last year I crocheted a "vest" to wear over it. I can wear it more often now. (It must be close to 16 years old!)

Secondly - a black suede and knit Bob Mackie jacket with embroidery.

ETA:

I thought I remembered some kind of fuzzy heather gray yarn when I was looking for something else the other day .... found it! I'm going to make another vest and probably a shawl to wear over the jacket.

Enjoy your suede pieces!

I had a black suede jacket and a raspberry suede skirt many years ago. The skirt came from Chadwick's, but as I gained weight, it just didn't fit anymore. I can't remember where I bought the jacket, but it was getting worn looking. I wouldn't mind having some suede pieces again.

Enjoy the Weekend!

I still have a beautiful suede jacket from hsn years ago. I have several suede shirts and at least 3 other suede jackets that I've worn for years. I bought to wear whether or not they are in style. They are in my personal style.

Hey! Great idea........Crochet vests worn over older suede and leather jackets!

Even over new-ish suede and leather jackets.
