How do suede backed holsters feel compared to smooth leather ?

I have a suede-backed, Tucker Answer:
For one of the same reasons I love it, you'd likely hate it. The suede backing holds the holster incredibly firmly and stable in my preferred postition. If you like to shift your holster around, this is NOT for you!
You state that you tend to sweat a lot and dont wear t-shirts. Then, avoid roughout. Rough-out is great for the same reasons as suede; offers greater stability. But, roughout also tends to wick moisture into the smooth leather inside and therefore against your pistol's finish. Not good. Suede is superior to rough-out in that it is bonded to the other leather, which bonding helps provide a far less moisture permeable barrier. Good, chrome tanned suede is much more comfortable against the skin than rough-out. Sounds to me like a fully lined, smooth-out model is for you.
