Het suede lijkt up close inderdaad wat 'ruwer' (langhariger) en dunner/zachter dan bijvoorbeeld mijn Piere Corthay suede loafers, maar dat schijnt er bij te horen.
Voor wat betreft het doorweekt nat worden en drogen refereerde ik aan de tekst van de schoentjes op de site:

Product description
As the name of the last indicates, these loafers meet the variety of requirements when you are on travel: light weight - they go with cord, wool and denim and they feel almost like socks.
The water resistant calf suede withstands uncomfortable rain showers and even totally soaked, the 4mm leather sole will dry over night.
Blake-stitching mounts the sole to the upper and the insole, which is made of vegetable tanned bovine necks. For utmost precision, the apron seam it is stitched by hand after lasting the upper. As usual with our leather-soled shoes, they come with full calf lining. The fit of the Traveller last is similar to our Sailor and Classic lasts.
