Default I solved my seat problem

I have a upholstery guy who does all my upholstery work for the shop (outsourced) I asked him about doing my seat and he handed the phone to his worker who does motorcycle seats. He said he will do it away way I want. Suggested that we do a mold to my butt. He will remove the Beaver tail on the back , making it a single.

My question is should I go leather seat or something that will take the weather ?

Leather will breathe better and will take the weather just fine.

My leather Corbin is holding up fine. Just keep it "conditioned" and it handles the weather.
