LEATHER vs ULTRALEATHER/Synthetic - Seat Choice

[rvr340]

I do upholstery and as a general rule, if you use a high quality leather, it'll out last the synthetic.

The myth that synthetics clean up easier is just that, a myth. a good leather cleaning product, and there are good ones to choose from will clean your leather right up.

Leather does require more upkeep but it;s not hard to do. Just like your skin that needs lotion, so does your leather.

@rvr340 - As a leather seat owner I'd sure appreciate if you would share information on leather cleaning products. I've seen so many of them on the market and have no idea which one might be worth buying.

Thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge.

It has been our experience that the best value for your money is genuine leather.
Leather will last a long time. It is durable and will hold up against repeated use and heat.

Much like the time and effort one puts into building a plane, leather will go that extra mile. Yes, leather does cost more but this is an investment. A true value, that will not break down due to heat or time.

Our leather is aviation approved and it is found in many commercial airlines. It has been approved for weight, treatment and resistance.

Like most fine items it requires proper maintenance to ensure its lifespan. A small price to pay for a lifetime of beauty.

Besides, nothing can compare to the richness and luxuriousness of leather.

Well, sheepskin surpasses it. Sheepskin feels better than leather, in my opinion. But I know that wasn't one of the options here.

Just received my leather seats, side panels and carpet for my 14A from Lempke in Germany.... really happy with the quality and the communication during the process was top notch.
