Sorry for getting in on this thread so late,each material has its own value.I like ultraleather for a car that is going to get driven alot,it also can be matched for color if there is a tear or changes later on down the road.Real leather interiors have a look that can't be beat,but it is more expensive than ultra and is harder to work with,we always tell are customers to order a extra half hide out of the same dye lot for repairs if needed.Ultra is the most workable of the two.Half of the cars we do every year are leather and the other half ultraleather.Real leather has to be cleaned carefully so that you don't hurt the coating on it because there are diffrent grades of leather.The feel of ultraleather is softer than the real leather in most cases because of the backing on it.To some it up after all this is, Ultra for a car that gets driven a lot,Real leather for cars that are used on a weekends and shows.Look at my website and see if you can tell which ones are ultraleather and which ones are real leather,I just put a disc in mail to my website builder with seven new cars on it, muscle cars and rods. recoveryroominteriors.com
