From what I've been told, it takes a trained eye to tell the difference between it and real leather, and feels like real leather.

Quote: "Leatherette is not comparable to cheaper Vinyl products on the market which are of a plastic like appearance & do not offer the same durability. I use the best quality of Leatherette available on the market, which is Nylex and imported from Germany" End quote.

Some pix here...

And $495 for a full set of seats (unfitted) seems pretty reasonable.

Hey, let us know how you get on. I've been pondering this for a while, when I spotted these on eBay. The only thing I was worried about was fitting them myself (i'm a bit hit and miss on that handy type stuff).

i worked in leather furniture industry for few years. leatherette is good for the pocket but leather is good for the quality. if he is using industrial vinyl (letherette) than it should be strong, also depending on the stiching as well but will have to watch it in summer if car is parked on the sun non stop and u dont look after it it will fade. looks of it is almost 100% the leatherette is alot thinner than leather.
