        Am I the only person who doesn't understand the appeal of alcantera? it mattes down easy and looks like a weird velvet. Especially on steering wheels why would one ever use it over leather?

          Mostly that it looks cool as fuck when done well and feels nice, but it really has more of a place in expensive cars and not old as hell e30's. Or anything that can get dirty or is touched by hand.

            That's why I question it for steering wheels ever. Headliner maybe, but we touch steering wheels

              For racing applications it's supposed to work well with gloves made from suede or similar material.
