Question are you a leather or cloth interior person?

Real Leather all the way for me not the fake stuff.

I'll settle for cloth considering I don't enjoy cold leather chairs.

Our first choice is leather as long as it is great quality and fairly resistant to scratching. I have owned both and some had crummy dyes, just have to know what you are getting and make sure it is treated properly. We enjoy some fabrics as well and a mix works just fine too. Halo-halo! To us, there is always such a thing as too much of the same thing.

Well I've never been accused of being a follower. I don't like leather, find it too slick, doesn't breathe, cold, and much prefer a quality fabric. Not the fuzzy stuff, I like a high quality tweed type fabric.

I like leather....Somehow it seems that it should be tan or brown etc... Other colors seem fake to me. Recently I saw a car seat that was leather with a suede type insert in the center of the seat and seat back. Smoothe tanned leather covered the bottom and back bolsters resulting in the nice look and feel of leather with the added advantage of not having the slippery seat feeling.

What about Pleather or leather? It's hard to tell the difference these days isn't it?

Hoosier our coach has a lot of brown and tan. I like the leather and wife likes the cloth. We compromised and went with both in the salon a mix in the booth. Bottom of the booth leather with a cloth upper. Originally the booth was all cloth. She has a cloth chair and I have the leather. It looks great and fits our needs.
