Was wondering if anyone could give me some feedback on the Classic Aero Sportsman seats. Thinking about leather.

Got my interior from Classic Aero several weeks ago - and love it. Nice work, looks great and easy to install. Suddenly the plane looks finished!

Instead of leather, I requested "Columbia" material - a synthetic leather that you would be hard pressed to tell apart from leather. Its soft, light weight, but very durable - more durable than leather. Best part: no "conditioning" necessary. Clean it with a damp sponge.

This product may not be advertised on their web site, but it is available - ask Luke there for his opinion on it. You wont save any money over leather using Columbia, but I think its superior if you can get over "leather is the best" mental hump

I got the leather and the work is impeccable. Not a stitch out of place.
They seem comfortable and fit well to my sore back (nice lumbar support), but I have not flown with them yet.

I have Classic Aero Leather seats for my -8.
Very nice and look great. One problem was that they didn't do a good job finishing the tabs inside the slot that the crotch belt fits through...like they were trying to save leather or something. It's too short and is a pain every time I put them in and out.
Other than that, I'd recommend them.
 
I have 40 hour with them in my 9A

I have the leather and it feels great. I like these seats. The only problem that I have yet to solve is the shoulder straps route a little funny. Any time you fold the seat forward then the straps will fall down behind the seat.
I have talked to Luke about it and will fly down there (only 30 miles) and have him look at making something on the headrest to route the straps through.
