Cloth or Leather?

---

What are the advantages/disadvantages of cloth vs. leather seats in cars?

Leather:-easier to clean up-looks nicer-umm cannot think of anything elseCloth:-will last a bit longer-can be more comfortable-not sure what else here either

can't leather tear easy?

not really. Good leather is very resistent to tears. Cloth on the other hand is more vulnerable. leather also gets hot a lot easier. Plus cloth is cheaper and leather is more expensive.

In the summer, if you are wearing shorts and you sit on a leather seat, your legs become attacted to the seat, so when you get out of the car most of your skin on the back of your leg rips off. But that's not necessarily a bad thing, because then you never have to shave that part of your leg.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA

Yeah and it makes you look like you've been sitting on a toilet seat cause the back of your legs are all red!! lolPlus leather gets REALLY hot if its in the sun!Though there are alot of disadvantages of leather.. I'd rather have it in my car than cloth

Cloth is good to go. I would like to have any waterproof seating, so I can drive through lakes.

hahahahaha now ya need to get leather. Damn humans might attack ya...oh wait that is Warcraft...well whatever.Leather was used as an armor way back when....

Well leather and chain mail. Mail was typically light enough for archers and fighters who have to be agile.But if you want a cheaper looking setup go with cloth, but if you want something that looks of higher class go with leather. I mean either way you will learn to live with the disadvantages.

lol. That is some good stuff there. It only gets better.

Thanks for the advice, but please stay on topic

hahaha Amanda. Tell me what kind of look are you going for? That should really determine what you get. Both are durable and relatively easy to clean leather more so than cloth, but go with what you have more flexibility with. Leather is always nice, has that special feel to it, especially if you take care of it.

I also find that leather makes me feel more comfortable.. almost like I can snuggle up in it

I have leather in my car and you forgot the worst part of leather, its FUCKING COLD as well as hot. The burns i can deal with that damned cold shit in the winter and especially the mornings is a bitch to have a seat and have it freeze your ass right thru your Levis or worse when I had meetings or things to do where i had to wear slacks, those bastards are thin to begin with Id hate to think what it feels like with a skirt or dress, i know its not good Iv seen the reaction on my gf many times climbing into a cold car with leather seats.Its good for a laugh on my part though

My last car had black leather seats.Never again!

yeah black leather is a big no no...unless it is in the bedroom, but that is a different topic.

I think most of it's been covered. Cloth is going to be more comfortable in both summer and winter. I breathes and you are not going to sweat when it's hot. Unless you actively use the AC, your back/thighs will sweat and stick to the seat. Cloth will get dirty.Leather looks nice and is easy to clean. You do have to maintain the leather as with time, the creases will dry and crack. It's also a pricey option if you are tight with money.

That's why my car cools in like 1 minute on even the hottest day.

Your response to ajmakoko makes no sense at all, but whatever.
