HI all, I ordered my GT Premium two days ago and was wondering if someone knows what natural grain leather actually is?? The code on my form just says

5 Nat grain leather
1 ebony

I tend to think its just plain black leather seats which is what I wand but I'm not sure.

Any info would be greatly appreciated



Thanks!

Natural Grain Leather is a cut above your normal grade leather. Basically it's a premium leather. It's also referred to as "Full-grain Leather".

Yup, it's good stuff. It should be better than what I have in my 2013, which has a sort of plastic-y feel to it. It should be supple and softer than what we're used to.

Is this the leather that is offered with the heated/cooled seats?

Yes it is, but I'm not sure if it's included in certain packages or not. I'd have to go look at some of the order confirmations posted. I'm sure there is a reason why it was chosen. It could be for a more luxury look/feel or it may be necessary for the cooling aspect.

Well my wife had an 07 gt with leather seats and traded it in on a new 2011 Taurus SEL with leather seats. Only thing is the difference in the quality of the leather. Her newer seats are noticeably better, softer, nicer.

Natural grain leather may not be quite as nice as corinthian leather.

Full grain leather is softer and feels higher end than top grain leather, but it does have a down side though. Full grain leather tends to show more wear and not age as well.

Yes, very true. It will definitely show age and wear faster. I believe that my 2004 Mach 1 had full grain because it aged terribly compared to what I had in my 2011 and now 2013.

I didn't go with the natural grain. It's almost has a nubuck or suede type feel. I was under the impression that it would have AC seats since the premium trim in previous vehicles weren't perforated.

Are you saying getting natural grain will mean no heated/AC seats?

Who knows? Are AC seats now standard since it wasn't on the order sheet. Maybe the natural grain will be perforated. I have never preordered a vehicle. I hope I don't regret it. I am quit fond of my AC seats in my truck. Being that in from Texas and all.
