Hello Duane and others,

I am trying to decide on B&Y leather and desire the following characteristics:

1) Low elasticity that will not sag significantly over time such as back cushions looking droopy and puddles on the seat cushions.
2) leather that will not squeak...noisy.
3) leather that is not hard but pliable
4) leather that is not shiny, over processed, or fake looking...want real leather.
5) I Would like a moderate variation "special effects" and not just one tone

In a previous post you have mentioned that the Elmotique 9085 leather was B&Ys "Capri", is that still the case...received good customer feedback? I am also interested in the Kodiak 9048 leather, is that similar to the Elmotique? Are there any other grade 4/5/6 leathers that I might like?

How about any leathers in the lower grades or married leathers that would provide a great product at a high value price point?

I promise I will stop asking questions soon and buy a sofa from you!

Thank you!
