Suede Patina - Will Jacket
Hi,
A couple of months ago, I bought a secondhand suede will jacket. It has some discoloration and marks, especially on the armpits. I couldn’t return it, so I kept it having in mind that one day I would buy a new one and resell this one.
I found a listing for a new one with tags on the secondhand market. I paid about the same price as the previous one. This one has the tags and no marks. But the suede shade is different. It’s not as rich and dark as the older one.
I read that suede gets darker over time, so is the previous jacket color the patina effect? Does anyone have the same jacket and notice it gets a richer tone?
You can see the older one has a different tag (it doesn't have the “will forever”), does it mean it's an older model? You can differentiate the jackets by the tags. I included photos switching their position so you see it's not just the “light”.
I definitely prefer the shade of the older one and I can return the new one (paying a fee). But I don’t know if I prefer to live with the marks and a prettier shade or no marks and a different tone.
Thank you
