Im sure leather would be very difficult to work with and not glue as well as micro suede. Its very heavy and dense and has absolutly no give to it, so you will have tons of wrinkles.

You would never get it installed right. It would be a PITA to install, in the heat it will stretch, over time it will crack Not smart for the tC interior panels.

leather would be etremly hard to work with on anything short of flat or very lightly curved pieces,there are some very nice vinyls out there though that mimic leather so closely you would think they are in most cases........and they are about as stretchy as micro suede........

Leather though pretty much unless you do it for a living you will never get it to work,it is hard to use,you have to know how to inside out materials very well to get it to work.
