I’m so glad you took down the idea that quality only exists from a recognizable brand. Honestly I bought my suede jacket used from Coldwater Creek which reminds me of a 90s mom but it is GREAT. I am also SUCH a proponent of buying leather used!

I realllllly want to find one similar to bottom row size L but have no idea what to call the color other than brown? And nothing similar is coming up!

Denim & Co in the tan and brown section! It’s the sold out one so I’m looking for similar but can’t quite think of what sellers might call the color way

Green suede jackets are IT!! I do find suede hard to shop for online, I think I want to touch/feel it first to know if I want to buy. But feel like this even with less luxurious & persnickety materials truthfully - but the deals and the options/variety are online often ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ you look great in this one, love the cut (like an upgraded barn coat!) and dusty green color so much 💚

One of my mottos is “Always be Upgrading”- I shop secondhand for 95% of my clothes. That green shade was last popular in the early 00s, and can be found in thrift shops. Your new jacket should soften up over time with regular wear. It looks like pigskin (does it have small dots in the texture?), so is fairly thin, more supple.

Well done on finding it! I’ve found a few things off the Shopping Channel in stores, and quality has been mixed.💕

It does have those dots! I’m hopeful it will soften a little with wear

The more you wear it, the softer it will get. Suede and leather will shape to your body over time. Enjoy!💕
