Is this suede?? Can't tell!

Probably sounds like a daft question! I don't know my fabrics...

Does this look like suede? My partner thinks it is but I'm not sure. It wasn't my first thought. I do think it has a suede like feel but can't decide.

It's an old jacket from a relative. Only label inside say's 100% cotton but that could be the lining, it's not clear.

No that looks like fabric rather than leather. Moleskin might be the name for that fabric?

Then again I might be wrong 😂
Does it smell like leather?

I think you were right first time. Moleskin.

Ooh - moleskin! Yes, that's what I recognise from old coats of mine; thought it felt familiar.

Brilliant - thank you 😊

@GreenShady - no, definitely not; smells of nothing in particular...except perhaps old wardrobe.

Ok phew, glad others agree with me!
@PunishmentRoundupWithJoon old wardrobe 😂
Yes suede usually does smell of leather a little at least.
