What does the cryptic crossword clue "Leather moved to and fro loudly (5)" mean?

The definition is "Leather". The wordplay uses a homophone (sounds like). Sounds like ‘swayed’ (moved to and fro) – I’m not keen on ‘loudly’ as a homophone indicator The answer is SUEDE.

Leather moved to and fro loudly (5)
