Members pedalpower Posted June 6, 2010 Members Report Posted June 6, 2010 I am looking for leather with this texture and finish. I am not sure what is called. I would like to try something other than a smooth finish. Any help is appreciated. Josh Quote
Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted June 6, 2010 Contributing Member Report Posted June 6, 2010 The finish rarely determines the texture of the leather as far as the wrinkly appearance of the seat. You may find a textured leather like that in the upholstery leathers- kinda looks like mission grain pig to me. Also,because of the way the "stamp" looks..... that seat looks like vinyl to me. Quote

I'll say it is vinyl also. Just a guess from viewing the stitching, edge and impression on the seat. Quote
MADMAX22 Posted June 7, 2010 Report Posted June 7, 2010 Shrunken bull shoulders will have a texture like that but more pronounced. Several of the seat makers use it. It looks alot better then the texture on that particular seat. Other then that there are many chrome tanned upholstery style leathers that are embossed with all sorts of textured finishes. Quote
Hilly Posted June 7, 2010 Report Posted June 7, 2010 That almost looks like basic black biker chap hide to me, except for the mark on it. Quote
