Default Single, double or piped leather stitching...What is the most luxurious?





Just wondering what others think of what is the most luxurious?


I have always thought that piped stitching represents luxury the best

I find double-stitched leather and contrasting piping to be equally luxurious, especially contrasting double-stitched leather.

I always thought piping was the cheapest. single stiched is better, double stitched is best. However, i never looked into piping because i dont like the look.

here's another question. Why do you get double stitching on toyota models with leather, but the RX even with semi analine leather does not get double stitching?

Non-contrasting piping I find is not as luxurious, and looks too plain.

To be honest, I think double stitching looks the most sophisticated.

Piping is cheesy and disgusting... Stick with the double stitch.

I have double stitching in my Cayman. Took it in for service and one of the stitches was popped. They're going to have to replace the whole part just to take care of one broken stitch. Man, that would be pricey repair in the future.

The piped look is classic. I love it. The double stitch only works on certain cars. Lexus imho is not one of them unless we are talking an ISF
