I had that jacket in a gorgeous Forrest green. Wore it for years and then gave it to a friend. Never washed it.

Great value---good luck with it.

I had a number of washable suede pieces from Eddie Bauer years ago that washed beautifully.  They included a blazer that I wore to death, and a boot skirt I loved.  Expensive and excellent quality. Can't speak to Jessica Holbrook but if it is a quality brand it should wash well.

I just found a "washable" - per label - genuine suede leather jacket in my closet, made by Jessica Holbrook.  It's lovely, soft suede - does anyone know/remember whether these Holbrook jackets really survive washing, in good condition?

@Penelopea.  I had several of these jackets.  As I recall, they survived just fine but never looks as good as they did when new.

I remember there were quite a few "washable" suede jackets being sold around ten years ago.  If I wanted to keep it looking nice, I think I would take it to the cleaners.

I do remember when QVC sold washable suede and leather.  I remember the Jessica Holbrook line.   That was a very, very long time ago.   I had a D&Co washable leather jacket around that time.  It was navy.   Probably 25 years ago.

I had a washable suede jacket "back in the day" and I remember washing it with great results.  Like new.  But it wasn't the Jessica Holbrook brand.

Years ago, I tried washing a few Jessic Holbrook jackets--all failed miserably.

About 10 years ago one of the designers had a beautiful long jacket probably called "walker" length. It might have been Susan Graver. The colors were absolutely stunning. I ordered one that I think was either called Mallard or Peacock. It came in a large box with tissue paper.  I bought my regular size but the coat was too large and would have required alterations. I sent it back. All of the pretty colors in a smaller size sold out. Does anyone remember this coat?  I would love to find a coat like this again.
