What's the best material for custom truck interiors? Leather, Vinyl, Cloth or Tweed? None of the above?

Different materials for different tastes and overall themes! That's what makes this a fun question. I think it's important the interior and exterior match as far as theme and color coordination. And this has to match with the owner's style.
Elegant and classy, can't go wrong with leather.
Some like what I refer to as PIMP FUZZY, and I am always tempted to touch it. That stuff messes with my depth perception, so I wouldn't be able to pull that off. How do you clean it?
I like tweed, my whole truck is tweed. It feels good and it's just my style. Little hard to work with because of how it pulls, and it is directional, but so far it is holding up and I like it a lot. Doesn't show dirt, doesn't get too hot or cold, and to me, it's simple. Whole bed, carpet, floormats, seats, some plastic pieces, sytem box in tweed. I wouldn't mix it with other materials or other tweeds though.

Aligator leather with suede or cloth inserts.  Ultra classy, and ultra luxurious

Leather all the way. Stick to two different colours max though, anymore and it looks like a pack of crayons exploded in your cab. I will always do a contrasting colour on the piping I like the way it looks and I will usually pick the accent interior colour as the main paint colour.

I love alligator leather with baseball style stitching.  Its the best thing since bucket seats.
