    I'll echo what others have said, don't use "ultra leather". I have a friend that is a professional uphulsterer and he HATES ultra leather, says its thin, stretchy, and doesn't hold up well at all. Marine grade vinyl is the best, because it wears like iron, doesn't color fade in the sun, and won't dry out like leather. Plus its available in virtually any color you can imagine. Mine's done in bright red marine vinyl, and so far I love it.
