I worked for an automaker for many years, had many finance peeps insistent that we reduce or eliminate cow hide from our cost.
Leather is a remarkable product, it’s surprisingly difficult to beat.
Polyurethane (which is one of many materials broadly associated with “vinyl”) Though that’s not accurate, vinyl has become like kleenex or xerox, it’s a term loosely applied to any non-woven upholstery that’s not animal hide.
PU is very durable, and the right variant of it has an arguably superior touch feel than top grain leather.
One of its biggest hurdles is that it doesn’t breath. Microperforations help, but its always a but like sitting on a hefty bag, moisture does not get absorbed into the material.
