C&C's Mercedes leather vs standard leather?
Does anyone have any experience between the two types of leather that C&C seats sells?
Are they the same leather but texturized differently or is one more durable than the other?

you could ask them for details- even ask them to send you a sample
a "top grain" leather is the outside surface of the skin. this may show scarring from wire fences or bug bites
skin is often split into layers- the top grain or outside is most desirable
the inner layers or "splits" are often given a machine made texture to look like top grain
I just went through this rigamaroll sofa shopping...there are all kinds of "made-up" names that don't mean anything, but top grain is always top grain
