Cut from imported A-grade suede sheepskin in a rich tobacco brown, the surface is matte and finely grained. The structure comes from the hide itself — not padding. A small turn-down collar frames the face, and four leather-covered horn buttons close the front. Uncoated, the tone deepens slightly with wear. Cut slightly small and moderately fitted through the shoulder.

Manual measurement; a 0.5–1 in variance is natural. Runs slightly small — if between sizes or preferring a relaxed fit, size up. Weight guidance is approximate.
Care — Do not wash with water. Avoid prolonged sun. Store on a wide, structured hanger. Wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth if needed; professional cleaning recommended for stains.

Materials & Care
Every Aelse piece begins with the material. We work in leather tanned to soften with wear, suede, cashmere, wool and alpaca chosen for the hand, silk, linen and ramie that breathe, and slow beauty made from botanicals. Natural where it can be, considered where it can't — chosen to last and to be kept.
Made to Order Policy
Made-to-order work is created with care, intention, and mutual trust.
If a return is requested, the item must be returned and received in its original condition before a refund is issued. Refunds cannot be processed while an item remains with the client.
To protect the integrity of our custom process, future commissions are offered at our discretion.
Size & Fit Info
Want the perfect fit?
Before checkout, add size info in the cart and enter your bust, waist, hips, height, and weight. We’ll personally review your measurements before shipping to ensure every piece fits beautifully—because when it fits, it flatters. And when it flatters, it lasts.

What women keep telling us
Worn, and not let go of
“Warm as a blanket, looks like the runway. Highly recommend.”
“Threw a blazer on at JFK, walked into a client meeting. No wrinkles. New travel uniform.”
“The quality and cut is out of this world. I'm always getting compliments.”
Small batches. Scarce fabrics.
The Aelse Difference
Every Aelse piece is created in small batches — shaped by careful hands, scarce fabrics, and techniques that honor where they come from. Clothing that stays with you through shifting seasons, restless cities, and the many versions of you.
Longevity before novelty
Aelse is not priced for impulse. It is priced for women who choose with intention.
Pieces that learn you
Leather that softens, knits that settle, fabrics that remember your touch. A piece becomes yours because it stays long enough to hold your story.
Minimal waste, meaningful production
Some pieces are crafted on demand. This lowers excess, avoids landfill cycles, and protects the integrity of our makers.
For women who move — through cities, seasons, and selves. Who repair what they love, and understand that longevity is its own kind of luxury.
A considered timeline
Because our pieces are made slowly, some orders take a little longer. A few weeks now means years of wear later.
Small-batch quality
We work with ateliers, cultural partners, and independent makers who specialize in long-lasting craft.
A fit made for you
Share your measurements at checkout — we tailor our recommendations to reduce returns and ensure a piece you'll keep.
Scarcity with honesty
When fabrics and materials run out, we don't replace them. Some pieces won't return.
Questions, answered
How do you clean a suede jacket?
Suede is cleaned dry — brush along the nap, keep it away from water, and let a professional leather cleaner handle stains. Treated simply, the nap only grows richer. Made to be kept and looked after.
Is a suede jacket warm enough for fall?
Yes — this is A-grade suede sheepskin, naturally insulating and breathable, so it holds warmth through cool days without bulk. Cropped and structured for layering over a knit. Made for the in-between seasons.
How do you wear a cropped suede jacket?
The cropped line sits well over high-waisted denim, wide trousers, or a midi skirt, and the small turn-down collar frames the face. Wear it where you'd reach for a blazer but want something softer.
What is A-grade suede sheepskin?
The top grade of suede-finished sheepskin — a fine, even nap with the hide's own structure, so the jacket holds its shape without padding. Uncoated, it deepens in tone with wear. The real thing, not a bonded finish.
Does a suede jacket crack or wear out?
Full-grain suede doesn't crack the way coated leather can — it softens and takes on a patina instead. Kept dry and brushed now and then, it lasts for years. Bought once, worn many seasons.
How should a cropped suede jacket fit?
Ours runs slightly small and sits moderately fitted through the shoulder; if you're between sizes or want a relaxed layer, size up. The cropped length is meant to hit at the waist.
Where can I buy a real suede jacket that lasts?
Look for genuine A-grade suede sheepskin rather than a bonded or printed finish — this is imported, uncoated, and made to soften and be kept. Not the jacket you replace next year.
