Dug this up poking around for the difference between ecru and nappa feeling leather. Probably gonna keep my LS for a while and ML's had standard eurethanized leather. Might check around for drivers seat skins OEM proly dead end but I check E BAy often.

I read the many reviews and people like the LS as much as we do!

 

Didn't know it was possible to euthanize leather since it's already dead.......

 

how ya think it got all those small holes in it, buckshot! Anybody is napa or ecru real soft?

 

Ecru is a color while nappa is a leather. See dictionary if in doubt.

 

I have 2005 LS430 UL with Ecru color. This is nappa leather. Is softer to the touch than the leather in my LS400. I am not sure about leathers in other LS430. I know the black leather on UL was semi-aniline.

 

I have a 204 UL and also the brochure that defines the different models and options available/required. There are three options available. Either black or bordeaux Semi Aniline leather or Ecru napa leather were a required option on both the Custom Luxury or UL models. I don't know what the Modern Luxury model leather is, but the previously mentioned leather options were not available in that model.

 

It comes with a certificate from the USDA stating that the leather was processed in the most humane way possible. Also, you get a visio showing the calf's family tree and pedigree. Not worth the extra $1150 to me.....

 

Seriously I think from other threads the ML ad Premium basic leather on my 04's has been a plastisixed eurethane coated leather to be more durable. I have had rain on this thing a few times and it has still kept its original feel, taught..
