Bring a suit half made of leather (5)

I believe the answer is:

suede

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'leather' is the definition.
(I know that suede is a leather)

'bring a suit half made' is the wordplay.
'bring a suit' becomes 'sue' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'half made' becomes 'de'.
'sue'+'de'='SUEDE'

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for suede that I've seen before include "Soft goatskin" , "Hide from kids" , "Undressed kidskin" , "leather material" , "Form of leather" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
