When you say it's suede I would assume you are talking about the lining inside. They do make suede spray to protect it but I do not know weather or not it might be harmful to a guns bluing. I'd read the instructions carefully or call the manufacturer before using.
If you are spending lots of time in the woods you should carry one of those inexpensive throw-a-way plastic Ponchos for an unexpected downpour. They are so small and light you can simply tuck one in your pocket. I always carry one when in the woods ever since I got soaked when Pheasant Hunting one day years ago. After having to fully disassemble my best shotgun to clean and lube after getting wet, I never went into the woods again without one of these things.

no the whole holster is suede i think. its a desantis sof tuck, its really comfortable and even tho it didn't cost much it seems very well made and i just want to keep it treated so it will last as long as possible. thanks

Are you sure you don't mean IWB instead of OWB ??
I went to their website and the holster name you are referring to is an IWB holster made of suede.
If that's what you are talking about I would not worry about them. They are extremely durable. The photo here shows three. The one on the left (gray) was my Dad's and is 65 years old. The center one (brown) is mine that I Purchased in 1979. The light colored one on the right that I purchased about 15 years ago has never even been used! That's how long these things last!! They have gotten wet, sweated on, and used constantly - other than some wear marks not even a hole. I would just use it, enjoy it and NOT worry about it. They are much more durable than you wold think!
PS I did move the clip off the cylinder area on the old gray one - just in case you are wondering.
