leather interior vs cloth

[southernnaturelover]

I actually prefer cloth BUT, down here in the deep South we have high humidity, and it seems like cloth interior starts smelling musty after a few years. My daily driver has leather, but I can't let my dogs ride in it without a blanket because I'm afraid their toenails will scrape the seats. Leather also needs to conditioned regularly or else it will start drying out and cracking. I have light colored leather with tinted windows, so I never have an issue with hot seats.
