Leather Seats too nice for a PT car?

Thoughts? Was thinking cloth for new front seats, but just a little more gets leathers. What do you all run?

I would choose leather over cloth in a heartbeat.

Leather is your car has AC and cloth if you dont. I hate getting in my vette in the summer and the leather seats being hot and then sweating till the ac gets the cabin cool, with cloth I dont seem the notice my shift getting moist as much.

Leather sides with ultra suede inserts.

leather is slippery when racing, you can have suede center insert,or a cloth center and that will help, I drove a car with leather seats and a 4 point harness and even with the harness I felt like I was going to shoot out from under the harness while braking (it detracted a lot from racing) and my butt still slide side to side(well not so much slide, as wiggled)

^^^ This!

I had planned on leather in my '67 all along but when I got the '14 with the suede inserts they are really awesome and very comfortable. Definitely will be looking into them for the project.

I agree as well, my Magnum SRT8 had seats like this and they were great.

Hmm....I wonder if Corbeau can make them like that for me.

Pretty sure they do. At least in the TRS's I used to have.

I've got Corbeau A4's in a similar configuration (ultra suede with leather on the sides in the wear areas) in my '72 Corvette; it's a standard option.

I think that's what I'm committed too Except with the LG1. Corbeau wanted $700 a seat to custom make suede inserts in leather.

Ouch.
The seats are amazingly comfortable btw, and even with only a lap belt, they hold you firmly in place. Made a huge difference in my ability to feel what the car is doing.

I ended up buying the micro suede
