I don't think suede can be washed. (?)

Thanks for all the wonderful price. By the feel of this suede, it is fabric suede. It went through the washer and dryer just fine.

Glad to hear it was machine washable. Machine washable suede is great. I have had a couple of washable suede blazers.

I think it is known as ULTRA SUEDE..washable because it's made from ''miracle'' fibers. Not leather suede, which can only be dry cleaned. My bro in law said he washed his 'brushed leather' coat (like suede) because "it is made from cow hide and cows stand in the rain and & it doesn't hurt their coat"!! I picked up several colors of ultra suede scraps at a yd sale & I plan to use them for trims on garments. You SURE made out like Flynn on your purchase.

If it's ultra suede, then it's washable..warm soapy water and a gentle spin....low dryer.

Had a coat once and was scared to death to put it in the washing machine........sat on pins & needles until the cycle was completed..it turned out beautifully.

but be sure that it's the ULTRA........
