Cloth V.S. Leather

[whaaaaT]

yea since when is cloth more durable. And water doesnt ruin leather. Dont hate on us because you dont have it. Leather is supose to be more durable than cloth. Theres been a few people who have the white leather complaining about colors rubbing off on thier seats and such. But duh its white. Leather is easy to clean water doesnt seem to do a thing to it. Along with soda, beer, ice cream, pizza, mud, gum, dog ****, cofee, chocolate, and im sure i've hit it with others. The heated seats are nice. But i've noticed it takes a while for them to heat up. And i swear if your not driving around they dont heat up. They could also be hotter. I only use high cause low is like the same amount of heat my a$$ generates normally from sitting on it. Wish the back of the seats werent plastic. They should be leather too. Makes the truck look cheap. If they were leather and had a nice leather pocket. Much nicer.

also i had a loaner h3 when my car was in the shop and the cloth seats were destroyed in my opinion. The black was fading and turning a lighter black greyish kinda color in spots. Truck was pretty baddly beaten though.

I'm an airplane mechanic by training, even though I don't do that anymore. But a long long time ago I worked for an airline, okay it was maybe 10 years ago. We had our choice of seating materials for the cabins of our regional jets. Guess what won out for durability and cost over time. Leather. Yup, it was cheaper to make seat covers out of leather rather than cloth (any cloth) because it cost less over time. Initial investment was of course higher, but leather could go 10 years or better in a regional airline environment vs. having to make the same seat covers 3 or 4 times out of cloth.

Then throw in the adjustability of the leather power adjustable seats and it is no contest. Sorry guys, I initially meant to go with cloth seats for the cost. UNTIL I test drove a demo in leather. Haven't looked back since...

i never ment it was more durable than leather. Leather its obviosuly better i ment its more durable than most other cars cloths.

I have leather in the car but in the hummer I like the quality of the cloth seats. unlike most GM cloth of years past that would grab your butt. The H3 is easy to clean get in and out and is more comfortable in my opnion. i also liked the cloth H2 seats but they went away after that first year i belive.

I've got the cloth on my Shadow Green. I get a lot of compliments on the contrasting green/black cloth panels on the interior.
Cloth is definitely cooler is summer and warmer in winter than leather.
I've got leather in my Infiniti, thank God for seat warmers!
