    Has anyone done any unique materials on their interior through tailor made? Cashmere, exotic leathers, Kevlar, denim, mycro prestige, etc.

    Cashmere... now that would be pimp.

    All kidding aside, "a man's got to know his limitations" when it comes to cleaning some of those unique materials. I vote stick to Alcantara or leather, but that's just me.

    Yes this was done through Tailor Made, it’s more like a very smooth leather, although it has a slight rubbery texture to it. You can tell my touching that it isn’t leather. It seems to be holding up very well in the year I’ve had it. I did the mats in the same material and they are a breeze to take care of, a light wipe down with plain water and the look as good as new.

    Good luck with the specification. I think the material would work very well on the 812C, it feels like a 'racy' material, which is why I did it on the Pista. Look forward to seeing what you choose!

    I have it on my Pista floor mats. It is a wonderful material with an interesting texture/feel. And, as you say, easy to care for.
