"Pure fabric seating"

I've ordered a new E450 cabriolet. On the description sheet of the PO there is an item "Pure Fabric Seating" as a standard item. I've added a leather seat option which is shown on the detail list. My question what is "pure fabric seating" since a leather seat option seems to be required? BTW, the dealer says not to worry since the leather seats are specified.

Interesting. I have an E450 Cab on order and I didn’t see anywhere about fabric. The DOG also doesn’t say anything about fabric. The lowest I could order was standard leather. I opted for the upgraded Nappa leather.

Mare you in the US? Maybe other countries have different seat options?

I can't recall the last time I saw fabric seats in a MB, if ever.

Fabric seating in a luxurious car doesn’t seem right.

I think MB only has MB Tex, which is vinyl, and leather. For practical purpose, I would prefer a nice fabric seat simply because it's cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. Unfortunately, fabric is only available in cheaper cars.
