Italian goat suede is widely regarded as the finest, most supple suede available, celebrated for its exceptional softness, lightness, and refined appearance. Crafted in Italy using select Metis raw material - a rare crossbreed of goat and lamb - this suede combines the best qualities of both animals. The result is an exquisitely smooth nap with a buttery hand feel, offering unmatched comfort and elegance in any application.
The skins are naturally smaller, typically ranging from 4 to 5 square feet, but their fine, uniform grain makes them ideal for high-end projects that demand precision and finesse. Renowned in the luxury fashion world, Italian goat suede is a favorite for couture garments, bespoke gloves, refined footwear, and premium leather goods.

The only problem I had sewing with this suede was it was a little thin for my industrial sewing machine, I used the suede for the side gusset and it turned out beautifully. I had to interface with both SF101 and a foam interfacing. Loved the results.
I used the suede as the lining of this clutch, I am very pleased with the outcome.
I really enjoyed working with the Italian goat leather. The color is stunning.
great quality and beautiful color! I used this leather for a bomber jacket. Love it!
I’m working on a cinematic costume and used the suede to create appliqués which I then satin stitched on. I did use some iron-on stabilizer to ensure the suede didn’t stretch while sewing. This suede was beautiful to machine sew with!
Amazing quality and customer service!!!
I busted out the elbow on my favorite flannel, and I wanted to add a cool, long lasting, reinforcement for both elbows. The suede is the perfect color and is so soft. Was very easy to cut and sew as well.
A very beautiful & high quality material. Thank you for a great purchase experience & helping me select the right material for my project!
Great customer service, thank you for answering my questions & helping me select the right material. It is a beautiful suede that is strong & flexible.
Thank you for helping me select the right material! It is exactly what I needed.
This is the perfect side for a lining. The texture, the quality, the thickness are all perfect. Lots of colors to choose from. I will be purchasing more
This is the perfect weight and texture for a luxurious lining! So many colors available. I will be purchasing more
Perfect liner for bottom of fine silver storage box.
For years I have used a flocking process for the "floor" of decorative boxes (jewelry, keepsake). The last few I have shifted to using goat suede and have been more than happy with the result. Consistent quality and uniform thickness and rich color result in a superior liner.
Used this grey goat suede to bring this chair into modern times! Love how it turned out. Fast shipping and great quality.
I am a custom knife maker. I use District Leathers goat suede as a sheath liner for some of my models. I'm very pleased with the quality and the timeliness of delivery. The packaging of the product for shipping was also excellent. www.killcreekknives.com
This suede is so soft I made shoes for my granddaughter along with tooth fairy pouches.
I used this fine (almost microfiber-ish) goatskin suede to make a new seatcover for my Aprilia. Nothing in the aftermarket world interested me, so I went the DIY route. District Leathers had the materials I wanted, at an excellent price. I’ve got more bikes... I’ll be back.
I love the quality if these hides, if I could add a star for the fact it looks the same on both sides I would. Works great for our new puff earrings.
Great customer service and great product! Used a goat hide for a Roosevelt elk antler mount and it worked perfectly. Excellent color, thickness and pliability. The staff of District leathers went above and beyond for my order and deserve my thanks.
Pictures of the suede vest. Love quality of the suede. Thank you!
Turned out great!

Nice swatch so I can decide what to use to repair a vintage jacket.

Perfect for shoes.
Love it
Perfection!
I will use it to make the calves larger on a pair of woman's high moccasins. And and I am certain that it will work out but could not be ready for a picture for probably two months.
Beautiful hides. Great store for leather hides, quick delivery.
Hi Alex! Love, love, love my goat suede! Have several projects in front of it so I haven't gotten anything together as yet! Best regards, Michelle
Had a problem with a clients dress and needed the material fast. The quality of the skin and time of delivery was great. Thanks. Ricardo Flores (Ricarda Ricardo and Four Seasons Scottsdale.)
Perfect for my watch strap overlay!
