That's what you need!

Your description is accurate, but I look at the back of the material, where it is obvious what is vinyl or leather. Perhaps they use a leather that has the pattern embossed on it? When I studied my original Porsche skins I found that the cushion sides where vinyl and the tops where leather. I think the vinyl is stretchier which would help explain why the Lseat skins are harder to install.
