For those who have had cloth seats for a while now, how are the holding up, and do you wish you had gone leather instead?

Thatās what I was hoping to hear. My last few Jeeps had leather and it always would seem to start showing wear even though I used high quality leather conditioner (Polish Angel). So I ordered my new Jeep with cloth this time around to see how it went. I know leather is easier to clean and all, but Iām more concerned about how it holds up than a few more minutes of cleaning.I find them much more comfortable than leather when outside temps are very low or very high. As for durability, the cloth seats on my JK and the ones in my JL never showed or currently show any wear or tear.
I went with cloth when I ordered mine back in sept 2018. Factory new car leather is getting less and less quality every year and starts looking terrible very fast. No regrets as my cloth seats have held up fantastic. Blow them off with air compressor to get dust out of them every now and then. Aftermarket leather is the way to go if you want leather.Thatās what I was hoping to hear.

These are valid points. Some additional info for those still on the fence between factory leather and cloth. It's true about aftermarket leather covers being more cost efficient than factory leather, but the factory leather option includes more than just seats. It also includes headrests and a fold down center armrest with cup holders for the rear bench, stitched leather front armrest, door panels, top dash panel, e brake handle, and the boots for both shift levers. Again, for those still undecided, the higher factory leather cost is also more inclusive than the aftermarket.Love ours - warmer in winter, cooler in summer. Leather seats look nice, but are a pain when you have the top down and park in the sun. If you do decide that you would prefer leather it is less expensive to purchase after market leather seat covers.
