I can hear people throwing their hands up in horror already ...........
I have a pale pink suede jacket, which at £35 a time to clean, was becoming a bit expensive. Had heard a few people suggest you could, so threw it in the washing machine, it comes up fine :D - OK, so it won't last as long, but with the money I save I'll buy a new one when it dies. Other family members have now done the same, and had no problems.
They come out a bit 'stiff' at first, but soften up with wear.
Take this tip at your own risk though ;)
