I have no idea...I just did a cut and paste from a thread where Station posted...apparently, his dad's a leather expert of some sort and he had the guy inspect everything...

Yes...my father has been hand-making shoes for 45+ years. I've learned a ton about leather just from growing up in his shop, and I'm pretty good at telling genuine apart from fake. But I'm not 100%. My father knows leather better than just about anyone outside a tannery. He assured me the only part of the seats that are not leather are the very back sides where the pockets are. The entire seating surface is most definately leather, as are the side edges of the seat. Nevertheless, I will have him inspect the interior again next time I leave town to visit him.

It is possible to burn a hole into leather with a cigarette.

Is it I thought it would just singe. I am almost positive that upon inspecting the hole that the section was vinyl as it was a bit melty around the edges and was too thin and the back of it did not feel like leather.
