Product Insights
The Buttoned Genuine Suede Jacket by Contemporaine is a $350 CAD cropped boxy silhouette that lengthens the torso when worn open and defines the waist when buttoned. Made from goat suede, it offers a coarser nap, lighter weight, and more pliability than cowhide, with high abrasion resistance and edge durability but requires protectant against stains. The button front enables repairability, adjustable draping, and a formal look, but allows small wind gaps compared to zippers. A full polyester satin lining resists wrinkling and eases layering, while the hazelnut suede develops a patina with wear. Exclusively at Simons in Canada, it fits petite frames without overwhelming and provides editorial contrast on taller builds. Care involves suede protectant and brush cleaning.
Verified claims
- Drape and Fit
- The cropped, boxy, waist-length shape holds without sagging and the suede relaxes about 0.5–1 cm across the chest and shoulders over the first few months for a more personal fit.
- Texture and Hand
- Coarser nap gives visible texture; lighter and more pliable than cowhide for easy layering.
- Durability
- Goat suede resists abrasion better than cow suede and lambskin, and the satin lining adds high tensile strength at stress points; the suede itself is porous and needs a protectant against stains.
- Color and Aging
- Even dye uptake prevents patchiness; color deepens at contact points with wear.
- Silhouette
- The cropped, boxy, waist-length fit lengthens the torso when worn open and defines the waist when buttoned.
- Body type fit
- Petite frames 5'4 and under are not overwhelmed; taller builds can create editorial contrast.
- Layering
- Low-friction polyester satin lining prevents distortion when layering over knits.
- Patina
- Hazelnut suede darkens at wear points; original color and texture stay vibrant.
- Fit evolution
- Jacket stretches slightly at chest and shoulders, then holds its cropped shape.
- Formality
- Button closure adds a classic, formal look compared to zip-front alternatives.
- Versatility
- Button closure enables partial fastening and two distinct open/closed looks.
- Wind seal
- Small gaps between buttons let in more wind than a zippered front.
- Repairability
- A broken button is easier to replace than a failed zipper.
- Collar styling
- The jacket has a true shirt collar with a stand and points and a button front, placing it in suede-overshirt heritage and giving two neckline postures: popped and buttoned to frame the face, or folded down for a classic V-neck opening.
- Wrinkle resistance
- Satin lining resists creasing and recovers from compression.
- Lining
- The full 100% polyester satin lining provides a smooth, polished interior absent in unlined suede competitors.
- Leather
- Goat suede outlasts lambskin and gains patina and stretch over time.
- Positioning
- This jacket is a Simons exclusive and is designed in Canada, with a timeless overshirt silhouette.
- Care routine
- Suede is not naturally water-resistant, so a protectant spray designed for suede and nubuck is essential; clean with a suede brush and eraser.
- Sizing
- The cut is roomy enough for a light sweater underneath but not baggy; between-size buyers may prefer the larger size.
- Bust fit
- At least one wearer reports the straight, boxy cut is very tight across the chest for a larger bust.
- High-rise and tailored styling
- The shirt collar and cropped, boxy cut place this jacket between a blazer and a jacket: the cropped hem sits cleanly at the waistband of high-rise denim, the structured collar balances tailored trousers, and the goat suede keeps its volume when worn open over lighter bottoms such as a satin or bias skirt.
- Satin lining layering and movement
- The 100% polyester satin lining is low-friction: the jacket goes on and off easily over knits and shirts, does not catch on shirt cuffs, and lets the cropped boxy suede shell hang evenly during movement.

All-day wear in buttery-soft suede
Reviewers describe the lightweight, supple suede as so comfortable they forget they're wearing it, making this a go-to layer for long hours on the move. The straight, narrow chest cut flatters straighter figures, though it runs tight across the bust and may feel snug on larger-chested wearers.[1]
Dressing up jeans or a dress for smart-casual occasions
Wear this suede jacket over jeans or a dress when you want a casual outfit to feel more polished, whether for a date night or a business-casual office. Reviews analysis reports that its clean buttoned design and genuine suede finish earn compliments for elevating everyday looks. Note that reviewer experiences with the color vary: many find the hue rich and true, while others describe it as faded or different from the product photos.[1]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Buttoned Genuine Suede Jacket: Choose this if you want a Simons-exclusive, cropped boxy jacket in 100% goat suede with a satiny lining, button front, shirt collar, and two patch pockets — reviewers describe the suede as buttery-soft and comfortable for all-day wear, and it elevates jeans or a dress for smart-casual occasions. It suits straighter, taller or smaller-busted builds, since the straight, narrow chest cut runs notably tight across the bust and can feel uncomfortably snug on curvier or larger-busted wearers. Also note that while many reviewers find the Hazelnut or Khaki/Sage/Olive hue rich and true, others report the color as faded or different from the photos, so it may be a gamble if an exact shade matters.[1,2,3] | Genuine Suede Loose Blazer: Choose this if you want a genuine suede layer with an easy, relaxed shape: it is made of goat leather in a suede finish, with a straight loose fit, two-button closure, notch collar, patch pockets, and a full satiny lining. It suits casual, versatile styling — one reviewer reports it works in place of a denim jacket, chore coat, or puffer and breathes new life into casual outfits like wide-leg jeans and a sweatshirt. Note it comes only in brown (a warm chestnut-caramel shade) in sizes X-Small through X-Large.[4,5,6,7] | Ciara Oversized Suede Jacket: Choose this if you want a genuine suede jacket with a relaxed, oversized shape: the main material is 100% goat leather with a full 95% polyester and 5% spandex lining, and the design features a dropped-shoulder, loose boxy fit that falls to the hip. It suits shoppers who like a bloused look, from the elastic waist and cuffs, with a pointed shirt collar, full-length exposed metal zipper, and welt pockets at the lower front. Note it comes in Light Brown only and in sizes X-Small through Large, so it may not work if you need a larger size, and one product image shows no open pocket mouth, so pocket functionality is not confirmed there.[8,9,10,11,12] |

Veste faite pour les hommes!
Cette veste est magnifique, mais elle est conçue pour une personne qui n'a pas de poitrine du tout. Elle est très serrée à la poitrine et sa coupe est ample et droite. Très dommage. . .
It's what I hoped it would be. . .
Perfect suede jacket!! Long sleeves, good body length. It's soft and fits perfectly. . . not too loose, not too tight. I'm almost 5'10" and small fits great. I love it!
Veste boutonnée en Suède véritable.
Je recommande cette article. Très belle qualité et très belle couleur.
Belle veste en suède
J’aime le look de cette veste ainsi que la qualité du suède
veste suède
J'apprécie particulièrement la souplesse du tissu ce que rend ce vêtement très confortable!
Perfect!
The quality of the suede in this beautiful jacket is immediately apparent: it is soft, supple and unblemished. The colour and fit are perfect and it’s very stylish. I can’t wait for spring in order to wear it. Would highly recommend it.
Love this jacket! Soft, perfect
Love this jacket! Soft, perfect colour, and not too hrs y.
Soft lovely perfect suede jacket
I had my eye on this for months and finally pulled the trigger. So glad I did! The suede is a lovely colour, it’s very soft and fills silky and light to wear. I’m usually a small to medium and chose medium, I like jackets not too fitted. And I can easily wear a sweater under this. I I likely could’ve sized up to a large and I would be curious to see how that fits. One last thing is the price of this jacket for the quality and feel as very impressive.
Satisfaite
Je le recommande. Le matériel est souple et de très bonne qualité.
Très surprise de la qualité
Très surprise de la qualité pour le prix payé
Great Suede Jacket For the Price
Beautiful suede jacket. Good quality for the price. The colour (hazelnut) is true to the colour on-line. I ordered an extra large (I'm usually between a large and extra large in Contemporaine outerwear) and the extra large was the right fit for me.
Well tailored jacket
This is a well made, soft jacket that looks wonderful on. I’m happy that I bought it! It’s roomy enough for a light sweater underneath but not baggy. Looks smart!
Veste de suède
Très belle mais la couleur trop fade pour moi
Mauvaise teinte
Le veston était brun sur la photo mais la description donnait autre chose. Finalement c’est l’image qui était erronée .
