Review on Men'S Brown Suede Leather Jacket - Real Lambskin Black Blingsoul Jacket For Men by Corey Slivinsky

I just received the Brown - Moroco suede jacket shown in this product listing and I'm loving it! The jacket looks very true to the photos but.I wouldn't call this brown. Maybe tan, or beige, or natural, or chamois, but not brown. It's actually really close to the color of a chamois cloth you'd use to dry your car after a wash. And that's exactly what I wanted, something different from the usual black and brown leather but not a radical blue, green, or red suede. This is different but still an understated earth tone that's pretty versatile.This is the 3rd leather jacket I've bought from Blingsoul. The first was a distressed brown smooth leather cafe racer style. The second was a car coat length black jacket in smooth leather. Both of those fit best in a size L which is what I normally wear. So when I ordered this suede jacket, I chose a size L and I wasn't disappointed. It fits fine from the chest, to the waist, to the sleeves.So, I'd say order your normal US size and you should be fine. Here's some background info on me to set a reference frame. I'm 6'0" tall and 210 lbs with a 44" chest, a 34" waist, and 17" biceps. I wear a slim fit dress shirt with a 16 1/2" neck and 34/35" sleeve. This jacket has correct sleeve length for a cafe racer type jacket which is a couple of inches longer than a suit jacket.The chest and collar fits me fine with enough room for a lightweight cashmere or merino wool sweater. With a Henley shirt or dress shirt, there's plenty of room but it's not sloppy loose. The sleeves are snug but not so tight that they restrict movement. There is a taper from the chest to the waist but I have plenty of room for the jacket to move with me.With that said, I'm pretty fit and muscular with low body fat. If you're rockin a beer gut or a dad bod with poorly developed shoulders, this may not be the style of jacket for you. You may be better off with a bomber jacket. But for me, this jacket is amazingly close to what a tailored jacket would look like with a nice "V" taper.The suede is soft with a luxurious feel. The color is very true to the pictures in the product listing. To clear up some questions I had.1.) There are no zippers on the sleeves unlike most cafe racer style leather jackets. No problem for me, as it makes the jacket look sleek.2.) The 2 slash pockets on the exterior likewise have no zippers which is unlike most cafe racer jackets but gives this jacket a minimalist profile.3.) There are 2 (right and left) inside pockets that can easily handle a phone, glasses, etc. They are trimmed in suede and lined with the same rayon lining as the rest of the jacket.4.) The jacket has a smooth black rayon lining stitched in a diamond pattern that looks really nice and allows to jacket to slip on and off easily.To summarize, the overall look is a modern minimalist and understated profile of a close fitting bike jacket. The suede is soft and not as stiff as a smooth leather. It's also a little lighter in weight than a smooth leather jacket. The zipper is a metal that is toned down with a bronze color that isn't shiny at all. It is the perfect choice for the light color suede of the jacket. But this isn't actually a bike jacket due to the suede and a lack of safety features like armor, padding, and zippers for air flow. That shouldn't surprise anyone. This is a fashion piece. It is SHARP looking!The suede provides good wind protection but there is virtually no insulation. Still, with a base layer and a cashmere sweater under this jacket, it's a 4 season solution for me here in New England winters. Spring and fall is the sweet spot for this jacket but, a summer night when temps dip below 70deg F.no problem.The color of this suede and the nature of suede means that this jacket is a magnet for all sorts of stains. Accordingly, the first thing I did when I received this today was to spray it with a water and stain protection treatment. I used Tarrago "Nano Protector" which worked fine and didn't discolor the suede at all but there are many solutions out there. You'll want to protect the collar and sleeve openings where they rub against your skin but also the zipper area where your hands come into contact with the suede all the time. And of course the front is eventually gonna see a glass of wine or coffee. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. In this case the prevention is about 13 bucks a can and the cure is about 25 bucks at a dry cleaner per stain.So overall, I'm loving this Blingsoul jacket. From the looks to the feel to the fit, I don't have any gripes at all. This may be a challenging color but it's versatile and out of the ordinary. It will set you apart.One final comment. When I ordered this jacket April 22, 2021 the shipping stated that delivery would be between April 29 - May 3. I knew from previous experience with 2 other Blingsoul orders that it would arrive sooner. Sure enough, out of the blue, the jacket arrived in 6 days on April 28. Pretty good for a seller based outside the US.And just like my 2 other Blingsoul jackets, this one arrived protected in a nice garment bag with a zipper closure. It's a nice touch that adds some protection during shipping. However unlike smoother leather, that nice soft suede is a lot more prone to wrinkles. My jacket had a few wrinkles that were mainly confined to the back. No problem, you can iron suede. I threw the jacket on an ironing board with the suede facing down and the lining facing up toward the iron. I then placed the doubled up (folded in half) tissue paper that was in the garment bag with the jacket over the fabric lining to protect it and gave it a quick iron with a high steam setting. That got about 75% of the wrinkles out in about 5 minutes. Good enough for me to wear it out to a wine bar last night. I'll just let it hang for another week and see if the wrinkles relax more or if it needs another round with an iron.Highly recommended. Hope this helps with your decision.EDIT 5/13/2021: So the initial ironing got rid of the largest wrinkles. I hung the jacket for a couple of weeks to see if the rest of the wrinkles would relax. They didn't. One sleeve had a crease (not sharp) running from the shoulder to the cuff from being folded during shipment. And there were a couple of minor wrinkles on the front.So I used the iron on 2 more occasions but this time I used a "pressing cloth", a habit I picked up from 19 years in the Army. In this case it was a bandana folded in half and placed over the rayon. But any thin cotton cloth will work. The cotton can take the heat of a steam setting on an iron without damaging the fabric underneath and still allowing the steam to penetrate. The pressing cloth is a "must do" for wool Class A uniforms, wool Dress Blues, and a wool suit or pants if you don't want to ruin them. But it also works great on suede and leather or polyester, rayon, and nylon. Anyway, after 3 sessions with an iron, I'd say the jacket is about 97% wrinkle free and that's good enough for me. Total time spent was probably 20 minutes for all 3 sessions.
