For shoes I just use a brush, but they are conditioned with a water protector, while the jacket isn't.

Where can I find a suede eraser?

On a similar vien, I had a dog step on my cream seude loafers (don`t look at me like I am a pimp, they are cool with jeans

). I brushed off most of the dirt, but some remains embedded. How do I remove it?

"Suede" erasers are sold with brushes in little kits by outfits like Nordstrom's. In point of fact, any good sized, moderately abrasive eraser will do.

Vinegar is very effective in cleaning suede. I used it on my suede shoes to clean off a beer stain, and they look as new.
