I had leather seats in a few vehicles over the years. where I live we get lows down to -35C and highs up to +35C, so a big spread. I found the leather hot in the summer and cold in the winter. in my latest daily driver I have downgraded the trim level so I have cloth seats with heaters. I find the seats are comfy as far as heat or cold but the trim level dictates a less comfy foam package under the cloth. too bad.
if it were me I would go with tweed as it stands the test of time, as far as style is concerned, and passes the comfort test. of course leather (or vinyl) is also a good choice for that too. what about a combo of leather (or vinyl) around the edges with cloth inserts?
