Now, having said that - some important disclaimers:
1. I'm neat. My entire interior looks like nobody ever drives the car.
2. I wear clean clothes. I don't do yard work and then hop in the car to run an errand.
3. Dyed leather such as belts or jackets *may* transfer some dye. Be careful about that, especially with cheaper leathers.
4. Wet jeans will ruin it. Flat out ruined. The blue dye will transfer and you'll be lucky if a professional can get it out. I have a towel in the trunk since day one just in case I ever find myself wearing wet jeans.
Otherwise, the same rules apply as for any leather - regular maintenance and common sense.

+1 to that. I had Lemon leather once and would not repeat it. Nor would I get Oyster for the same reason. Furthermore, what is the point of getting leather if one is just going to cover it over with seat covers, I hate them.
