Does anyone know if...
I know you can order "suede" seat inserts (I wonder if it will be REAL suede) does anyone know if you will be able to order those in a contrasting color (wouldn't that be cool). Second question, I know they are supposed to help grip you in place more so than the smooth leather, but how does it wear over time? Does it wear noticeably faster than all leather. Is it much harder to clean? Thanks for the info. I'm especially interested in if you can order the inserts in the contrasting color.

The sales guide includes a Seats - Suede Inserts in the available equipment list for 2LT & 3LT.
This is from another thread:
Based on my experience with a nice suede leather jacket I have, I would not want it on the seats. I think it would wear in spots and ultimately not look very good.

Suede, I question the maintenance required to keep it looking great. One of the airplanes that I flew had it and the maintenance department was always brushing it or it would crush and get shiny. Evidently the look/feel was gone. This was a high end interior on a Corporate Jet. Modern processes minimized maintenance? From my past experience I wouldn't want it. That could change when I see the product, how it looks and feels.
