Hello Team FL, it's been a minute for me :)

Besides Fedoras I've been buying leather/suede jackets for the past 10 years or so - nothing too fancy as I live in south Texas so I can only use them a few times a year, I have over 10 so they never get much wear & tear so I rotate them constantly.

On a whim I took a chance on a jacket from a company called Dandy Del Mar, I've linked below the jacket I purchased but I wanted to pick y'all's brain as I have a few concerns.

First off the shipping from these cats is impressive, great care is placed in a sturdy box as pictured, very well done.

The jacket is soft to the touch but what concerns me is it is made of pigskin leather vs lambskin or another variation lol

I've only ever heard of "pigskin leather" in regards to footballs. I wore it out this morning and it certainly turns heads BUT as it got hotter outside the jacket started "smelling" nothing like the pleasing smell of standard suede jackets I've ever owned. Anyone ever deal with a pigskin suede jacket before? How does one care for it ?
