Default Corbin Seats.....

I just bought some Lexol leather treatment and want to put it on my seat. Just curious, are Corbins all leather or just the part your *** touches? Btw, mine is about 12 years old. Thanks

Don't hold your breath for a reply. I don't think I have ever gotten a reply from an email or contact input.

I've had OK response over the phone.

I seem to recall that my Corbin from 2004 was leather only on parts that touch.

From my experience, it should be all leather.

leather on contact seat portion vinyl on the aprons. easy to confirm by looking under the seat where the vinyl is stapled.
iirc they say to use no petroleum products on the vinyl or leather and go on to mention their products.
Personally I think you will be fine with lexol on the leather and a good uv vinyl protectant on the apron. However, for longest life a uv leather protectant would be best for the leather seat.

Thanks King and others. I'll use Lexol on *** portion and vinyl treatment on remainder. I just removed seat and it appears the apron is vinyl.

When I was showing horses, we never used Lexol because it would eat the stitching out of the leather.

We always used Murphy's Oil Soap to clean and condition. Now, with the truck and bikes (because the black leather soaks up the sun) we've been using Angelus 101 Oil - http://angelusleatherfinishing.com/oils--soaps.html

Corbin seats are leather on seat area and a synthetic on sides.
