"Finesse" was the material of choice for N21SN.  It weighs 1/3 the weight of 
leather, doesn't scratch, isn't affected by chemicals, doesn't turn blue when 
you slide on it with Levis', etc. (and costs the same or more)

The seats each weigh 4 pounds total, complete from knee to shoulders.  The 
total weight of all my interior is 12 pounds. Side panels (6), headliner, 
carpet, etc.  So, I estimate I saved about 20 pounds.  For a LNC2 that weight 
savings is significant.  Difficult to save that much weight anywhere else in 
the plane. 

And now there is "Ultra-leather" which may be even better than "Finesse"
