You could also have those that you wear every day to work. While common jackets and clothing are made from cotton, wool, or nylon, those that are more expensive, high end, and better looking are made from leather and suede. Both leather and suede come from animal skin. Leather is durable and is commonly processed from cows, sheep, pigs, and goats, with cow hide as the most popular type of leather.

Since most leather and suede clothing is expensive, and with suede being more delicate than most other fabrics, both must be treated with proper care and caution during cleaning to avoid damage.
