Feature of Seat Leather
- Leather is made from the outer skinof an animal, which goes through a
special process to be available for
use. Since it is a natural object, each
part differs in thickness or density.
Wrinkles may appear as a natural result of stretching and shrinking
depending on the temperature and
humidity. - The seat is made of stretchable fabric
to improve comfort.
- The parts contacting the body are curved and the side supporting area
is high which provides driving comfort
and stability.
- Wrinkles may appear naturally from usage. It is not a fault of the products

Belts with metallic accessories, zippers or key inside the backpocket may damage the seat fab- ric.
