Seats: Leather, Suede, and Exotic Materials
A very popular trend right now is the use of exotic leathers, such as ostrich, leather, snakeskin, and even baseball glove leather for seat inserts, headliners, and door panels. This Chevrolet uses light blue leather with black alligator hides.
Even a simple leather seat cover from companies like Katzkin, Classic Soft Trim, and Roadwire can dramatically update your interior. This GMC ordered his seat covers sans headrests and used light tan ostrich inserts to offset the black leather with lime green stitching.
Mark Barbee's '63 Chevy has one of our favorite interiors. Using beautiful baseball glove leather, the seats look both custom and still old school. Thick stitching really brings the look home. All puns intended.
Mickey Thompson showed off its new tire tread design by stamping the tread pattern into the leather seats of its customized F-150. The look ties in the theme of the truck and has onlookers doing a double-take.
Mike LaVallee's Ford Lightning is wild inside and out. Those gray leather seats feature perforated ivory inserts, orange accents, and polished billet spikes. Despite the metal in the back, Mike tells us the seats are very comfortable and the look is undeniably cool.
