Leather Care
Splitsteer Suede
- Splitsteer suede is made from the underside of a steerhide, where the hide is split into layers and the inner side is sanded to create a soft, velvety nap. Compared to roughout, split suede is generally softer and more uniform in appearance. It doesn’t develop a strong patina, but instead takes on subtle shading and wear patterns over time, particularly in high-contact areas.
- Suede is sensitive to moisture and oils, meaning conditioning is rarely needed and should be avoided unless the suede feels extremely dry — in that case, use only products specifically designed for suede to avoid flattening or darkening the nap.
- To clean, use a soft brush or suede eraser to gently lift dirt and revive the texture. Avoid water where possible — for deeper cleaning, use a suede cleaner or a barely damp cloth, always testing first in an inconspicuous area. If the suede gets wet, let it dry naturally away from heat, then brush gently to restore the finish.
