  This is a misnomer........this is not traditional leather like what most people would consider "leather" it's a urethane/leather or split-leather. It doesn't wear as well as normal leather and is far cheaper to produce....hence the price. For some people it's not a bad trade off but really you it shouldn't be called "leather"
