Okay, I ran some tests on my suede/nubuck boots with the Fry protector and the Apple Brand Rain and Stain Protector sprays. The Frye seems to change the texture of the suede just a teensy bit, but that can be brushed out. Both provide nice beading of water splashed on it. Both returned water splashed areas to normal after gentle dabbing and left to dry. I think I have a slight preference for the Apple Brand protector for the Rogue due to it being lighter and finer than the suede I used for testing. The Frye is water based and requires complete saturation followed by drying. The Apple is a fine chemical mist that dries almost immediately. It therefore seems more gentle to the "shag" of the suede.
@luv2shop1, I'm getting mine on Friday too.
OMG! You got it!!! Let's see more pictures. Sidebysides with the Oxblood please? Also, could we see the suede purse standing up with both the shoulder strap and the handles dangling outside the bag? And any chance you would mod shot it for us? Please? Pretty please???
