Leatherette




A disadvantage of plastic "leatherette" is that it is not porous and does not allow air to pass through it, thus sweat can accumulate if it is used for clothing, car seat coverings, etc.

It is also known that people exposed to extreme heat (e.g. fire burn victims) may suffer additional serious skin damage by contact with burning or melting leatherette. This phenomenon was described in the song ''Warm Leatherette'' by The Normal , which was popularized by Grace Jones .
