Hey all,
Has anyone had much experience with dry cleaning a suede jacket? I've seen bits of posts on here about it. Some say "it was successful" but I'm curious about a bit more detail. As in, was it just as soft as before, any shrinkage or size changes, did the colour change at all etc?
I bought a second-hand suede Levis trucker which is great but I want to have it cleaned because - you know - used clothes. I'm a bit of a germaphobe. I want to start fresh as possible with only my DNA on it, but I'm concerned about colour change mostly.
I'll only be taking it to a leather specialist/dry cleaners that employ a specific leather specialist, but I read that it's not uncommon to have to re-pigment or re-tint and re-oil suede after a dry clean and that this can result in a colour shift which I really don't want?
Anyway - who knows about this. Tell me your experiences. I want to get it cleaned and start wearing asap!
Cheers!
