Napa Leather is somehow the most luxurious leather you can have your hands on. This terminology was first used somewhere in the U.S.A and since then the process itself of which the leather is made is now called Napa. This leather is buffed until the maximum smoothness is achieved. Although this is luxurious raw material, it not for heavy-duty applications. You will see this type of leather mainly in Italian & German cars.

Alcantara© is the name of a manufacturer in Italy that produces synthetic ultra-suede. This particular company is chosen by a premium car manufacturer due to a number of factors. The number of hair (fiber) is constant at any given spot, the length of fiber is also constant, and again, the number of fiber per SQFT exceed any other manufacturer. The product itself is called ultra-suede, and the manufacturer is Alcantara©. There are many somehow similar products out there, claiming to be Alcantara. However, this may not be the case with Saudi LEMAN. Saudi LEMAN only imports Ultra-Suede from Alcantara© S.p.A

We do not make covers that covers the current cover. We typically remove the current skin, and then take measures. We then cut, and fit to order. Once all is OK, we go ahead with stitching.

We import our thread from Amann© of which they manufacture their threads. This thread is made of Polyester that will not easily fade-out. We stock 140 colors of almost all shades. Our stocking is in sizes 10, 15, and 20. Depending on the application, we choose the right size.

If it's only re-skinning, then its a 8 hour job. If you wanted to reshape your steering-wheel, then it would be 3 days job. And if you wanted to apply Carbon Fiber HD, it would take up to 12 working days.

Yes.

Perforation is the process of making holes in the leather, either for cosmetic or for air circulation. Our perforation, is made to order so you can choose the size of the hole, and the distance between each hole. Please see Perforation Section for more details.

You pick your colour, shade, matt, or glossy. We will have it eaither in stock or will be manufactured for you. The lead time for sourcing your leather is 4-6 weeks.

We will execute any design you want, as this is not intellectual property. However, we will not add any logo that does not belong to us. This matter is a non-negotiable matter.

We take our time to make the correct measure. Not smaller, not Bigger. This is rather a time-consuming step, due to the irregular shape of each part in the seat. A typical sewing machine can make 1500 stitches per minute. However, going that fast jeopardize the final finishing. We mechanically adjusted all our machines to go 58 stitches per minute, which affect the delivery lead time. Having said all that, it takes us 3-5 weeks to complete a five-seater car. We do not stock ready-made. All our work is made-to-order.

Because most of our work is custom, and because all cars are not the same, we are not able to sell everything online. Such as Headliner. And yes, we've done many headliners.

Sure we can. However, this depends on the raw material, design, and so on. A simple A letter can be done in-house. However, with sophisticated models such as the Lamborghini, we typically cut the piece, and send it abroad to have it correctly done. During that time, your car will be with you.

Lamborghini does not mind restoring their cars, but when it comes to Brabus, it is an upgrade not restoration

Typically yes. With very little restrictions.

Yes for new models. No for older models, because we do not know what to expect behind that panel. In your invoice we will always list what exactly we will do to avoid any misunderstanding.

It comes down to the type of work being requested. Some services can be immediately accommodated. Others can go to as long as three months. Please contact with your queries; we will be happy to assist you.

If this is what you want, you will need to understand how we work so we can arrive at your desired look. Mainly, it will take you through the fundamentals. From stitches sizes (3.0mm to 6.0mm) to the number of stitches per line. You may also opt for bespoke perforation, which we will also take you through. Once all done, a consultant will sit down with you to arrive at your desire design.

Not only we use prime material, but we take this craftsmanship seriously. A typical job where it takes one day out there, it takes us a lot more time. We also employe a qualified (with degree) Quality Manager, which means a job can be quickly rejected for re-do. By conforming with this, you are guaranteed to receive the best we can deliver. Saudi LEMAN is not for everyone. It is only for those who appreciate the craftsmanship.

A memeber of staff needs to be trained for at least 2 years before he/she can handle a job. Fast duplication would jeopardise our quality of work. To LEMAN it is not about profit generation, it is a passion of craftsmanship.

At Saudi LEMAN, since its inception, we want our happy clients to be related to the brand and not the owners. You are dealing with LEMAN, not anyone else.

At Saudi LEMAN, we trust our products, and many items carry 2-5 years of warranty. All our warranty programs carry "No Questions Asked."

That is no problem. Only the piece within that seat will be repaired/changed. There is no need to change the whole thing.

Unfortunately, due to company's policy works only with individuals.

First of all, you will need to understand the fundamentals of leather manufacturing; then, you will need to get to a point where you can assess your leather life rate. After that, you will need the tools, consumables, and methodologies to treat your leather accordingly. You will also want to make sure anything you use is leather friendly. Alternatively, we have our Professional Annual Leather Care program, which will ensure a long-lasting interior, which you need only once a year. Visit our on-line store to find out more about pricing.

First of all, you need to know that all car interior comes with a transparent layer of protection. The dirt you see is all above that layer. Now you can choose to remove the dirt or remove the layer, which subsequently will remove the dirt. However, when you remove the protection layer, your leather will no longer be UV resistant, and all dirt will be absorbed by your leather. At this point, cleaning your leather will be near-impossible. To remove the layer, use steam or harsh chemical products that are available in the market. Make sure you re-apply this polyurethane layer and not NANO.

Leather & wood are called living items, and whatever you apply to your leather must allow breathing. At Saudi LEMAN we do not use NANO products. Only Polyurethane which allows breathing. Your new car already has Polyurethane, so you will not need it in the first year of your purchase. It goes away with friction. So only the driver seat may need to be reapplied.

There is no straight forward method to differentiate. But there are signs. Only an experienced person will be able to tell the difference by touching the material. You can test your leather by doing the following: 1- Apply a drop of water. If it is absorbed, then it is animal leather. However, real animal leather may not be absorbing water due to having a protection layer. 2- Check the back of the leather. If its suede, then it is likely to be animal leather. Please note that leathers' first enemy is water. It can turn your leather to a crackable leather.

Well, many use these terminologies to manipulate the market. A Synthetic Leather can be real Leather. Original Leather can also mean Synthetic Leather. Only Animal Leather cannot be twisted.

Sadly to say, most and yes, most cars have a combination of Synthetic Leather of Animal Leather in the same vehicle. Including Lamborghini. We have also seen BMWs & Mercedes Benz's cars with partial synthetic leather or sometimes full synthetic leather.

No, we don't sell leather. We are service provider and not a reseller per our CR.

If your Airbag has already exploded, then yes. However, if not, we will refuse the job. This is mainly for your safety, skinning my weaken your Airbag, which may result in an unnecessary injury.

Yes, if done correctly. Above all, you should only use Automotive Certified seatbelt if you wish to change them. At Saudi LEMAN, we only use Automotive (DOT) Certified. And carry a five-year warranty.

That might be accurate. However, we have seen seatbelt with Germany flags that are available at AliExpress.com. Besides that, changing a seatbelt requires the disassembly of many panels, which increases working hours. We have seen customers who have installed their seatbelt out there, but with poor stitching with the old seatbelt. The correct method is to remove the old seatbelt completely, stitch it with the locking mechanism before assembly.

Just because you bought your leather from the EU doesn't guarantee its quality. We have seen many fake products in the EU. If you opt to provide your leathers, you will not receive our warranty.

Synthetic leather (PU Leather) also comes in different qualities. It is sometimes hard to differentiate. It is plastic-based, and can be heavy-duty, but not as luxurious as Real (Animal) leather. Real (Animal) leather -high quality- is easily distinguished. If you take care of it, it will last as long as your children. Check our Professional Annual Leather Care for more details.

We know our prices are not compatible with the market. We also know someone out there is charging more than Saudi LEMAN. We do not know the reason. But you will need to check their expenses, rent costs, and so on. At Saudi LEMAN, we only control rent costs; this is why you will always find LEMAN in a hidden corner.

We could write a book about leather types. A summary of keywords is listed below to ease your research. Pigmented, Aniline, Nubuck, Semi-aniline, Pull-up, Suede, Bicast (cheapest), Napa (most expensive), Corrected, Embossed, Top-grain, Full Grain, Crust, & Finished.

Quality is a vague word. But we can say heavy-duty & luxurious. This is based on the layers of the leather if taken from above, middle, or below. Cow leather is about 1.5cm, it is then buffed (sanded from above), or skived (sanded from below). To use leather in the upholstery applications, we need it to be ±1.2mm. A manufacturer chooses whether to skive, or skive and buff, or buff only to arrive at the required thickness. Another significant matter that affects leather quality is the manufacturing time. The more time leather spends in tumblers, the better quality you get. However, many factories shorten this time so they can produce more.

This is Aniline leather. It means it has been painted (sprayed) only from above. i.e., the pigment is not absorbed. This type of leather is mainly seen in Porsche cars. We do not recommend this type of leather in upholstery applications. Nevertheless, you can always re-apply a coat of leather paint to restore it.
