Re: Leather seats?

[Wallace White <wallace@remdesign.com>]

I wonder if Marty's leather is a dark color (blue, black). The darker
leather interiors seem to do split seams more often, IMLE ("L" for
"limited"). My blue leather interior has several split seams and
generally looks like it has shrunk. 

Perhaps it wouldn't have happened if the seats had been regularly
conditioned? Lexol cleaner and conditioner doesn't seem to reduce the
tension that's building where a seam hasn't split.
