Leatherette is a chemically produced imitation of leather. Some vinyl can be leatherette, then? Or is Leatherette a patented process? Snakeskin for Messerschmitts could be classed as leatherette, but is always called snakeskin, and is not patented. Not to be confused with leveret, which is only going to be small patches of hare.
