Are your seat's really leather?

Long story short like most people i just assumed the statement on my build sheet that says leather seats meant leather. But in a random conversation with someone from land rover about the wear & tear on my seats i was told they wear like that because they are plastic not leather.
I've since had them tested turns out they are a polypropylene covering, i have a pure tech so i cant say the prestige and dynamic are the same.
Yes i have spoken to land rover who told me the 3mm strip under the seat is plastic odd the the rest off the seat is the same.

RE: Are your seat's really leather?

Your Puretech has only got leather seat facings ie the bit you sit on and your back rests against , not the whole of the chair. On my Dynamic Plus the seats are leather faced too, the base is hard plastic and the back of the seat backs is softer plastic

A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

They must state *somewhere* that its only part leather otherwise I would imagine they would get done.
