It's a suede-like material that is very soft and is alot easier to keep clean than real suede.

Fake Suede!
I had Alcantara on my S4. Looks custom, but wears down after a few years and will start to ball or pill up. Since it is high up on the shoulder bolster should be ok.
Mine was right down the middle cushion and on the seat pan with leather bolsters.
Cleans with water and mild soap. I had a coworker spill coffee on it and it wiped right up.
