What is suede, its advantages and disadvantages

What is suede leather 1

Suede is the skin of animal muntjac.

Suede has the characteristics of more grain damage, thick and compact fiber tissue. Generally speaking, suede is also processed into "suede". Later, because the number of muntjac was really small, they began to use goat skin, sheep skin, deer skin and even cow skin to process suede to replace suede.

Muntjac, commonly known as muntjac. Mammalia, Artiodactyla, Deer Family. The adult weight shall not exceed 35kg and the body length shall be 75-115cm. The legs are thin and powerful, good at jumping, and the skin is very soft, which can be used to make leather.

What is often confused with suede leather is "nubuck leather", also called nubuck leather, which is a transliteration of nubuck in English. The direct translation means regular suede leather, or nubuck leather.

Niubago is also called ground cow hide; Belongs to one of the cephalic cortex; It is to polish a layer of surface cortex to achieve the feel of suede. The skin body is thick and soft, and the surface color, fuzz and texture are natural. Symmetry and consistency are not emphasized. Compared with ordinary suede suede, nubuck leather is not as long as suede leather, and nubuck leather prefers the texture of cloth.

What is suede fabric

Muntjac, read j ǐ， It belongs to the deer family, but only the male muntjac has short horns. The horn trunk extends backward, and the tip of the horn bends inward. Generally, it does not branch or only has a small fork. The base of the horn forms a longitudinal ridge on the face. The skull is slightly triangular, with prominent lacrimal fossa. Compared with other deer animals, the hair of muntjac is short and fine; The limbs are long and thin, and the muntjac hooves are narrow and sharp; The large upper canines will bend and take the shape of tusks, but they are smaller than the tusks of musk deer and roe deer. Suede is a fabric made of suede.

High grade and tasteful

Suede is soft, smooth, light and tactile. It looks much higher than other ordinary fabrics.

Unique style

The surface of suede fabric is plump and delicate. Because the fiber on the surface is very thin, it forms a multi-layer structure, with small reflective points, luster and soft color. The bending stiffness (the ability of an object to resist its bending deformation) of fine fibers is small, highlighting the elegant and natural feeling.

comfortable

Because of the fine surface fiber, many and dense gaps, the fabric has better water and oil absorption. The microporous structure between fabrics allows more static air in the fabric, which can achieve better heat insulation and warmth preservation.

Remarkable waterproof and vapor permeability

The diameter of raindrops is generally 100-200 μ M, while the water vapor of human body is about 0.1 μ M or so. As long as the shrinkage is controlled and the fiber gap is changed, the weaving gap can be only 0.2~10 μ M island high density fabric, which gives the fabric excellent waterproof and vapor permeability.

Strong decontamination ability

Due to the large specific surface area of fine fibers and the large and dense gaps, the fabric has a strong cleaning effect. Cleaning articles made of suede fabric are very soft and will never scratch the cleaned articles.

Disadvantages of suede fabric

Not resistant to dirt

Suede is wear-resistant, but it is not resistant to dirt. If you don't pay attention to it, it will get dirty. Moreover, it will look ugly after being dirty.

Cleaning is complex

The cleaning steps of suede are quite complicated. Unlike other fabrics, they can be put in the washing machine at will. They need to be cleaned manually. Professional cleaning supplies should be used when cleaning.

Poor water resistance

Suede is easy to deform, wrinkle, or even shrink after washing, so it is better to avoid large areas of water. Washing solvent, such as tetrachloroethylene, should also be used when cleaning.
