Motorcycle Jackets | Motorbike Accessories | Blackbird Motorcycle Wear
Blackbird Motorcycle Wear is the brainchild of former Sydney interior designer Belinda McPhee with the help of her three adult children Belinda, 20, Eliza 17 and Sam 22 and husband Peter who all ride.
Belinda says that even though the tan jackets look like trendy suede, the leather is actually Nubuck. The lining is faux fur on the body panels with comfortable satin in the sleeves. It includes removable CE-approved armour made of PU rubber which is more comfortable than the foam variety. Belinda says her motorcycle jackets are constantly being developed with new models and better quality protection. I was just looking for the same jacket and found it here finally, thank you for sharing this one it really helped me a lot.
Thanks for the queries — it is worth knowing that there is a difference between suede and Nubuck,. Nubuck is similar to suede, but is created from the outer side of a hide, giving it more strength and thickness and a fine grain. Suede is produced from the inner side of leather and has a rougher surface.

So if they are both leather how can one be better than the other if all else is equal? So these jackets may actually be OK — provided that they are properly double stitched and reinforced. There are two distinct layers in a leather hide; the outermost top grain layer and the lower split layer. Suede is created by sanding the split leather surface to roughen it up.

It is generally less abrasion-resistant, more prone to stretching, and less stiff than full-grain leather. A leather finishing process, not a type of leather. This surface texture is sometimes mistaken for suede, but nubuck is actually a full-grain leather. Your email address will not be published. Notify me of followup comments via e-mail.
