Default Leather options help

Please can someone explain the difference between the Grained Leather and Windsor Leather options. Do both options have part Robustec seats or is the Windsor a full leather seat?

is the Windsor worth the upgrade?

Thanks

The windsor is full leather and Its pretty nice. With that said If I was building a defender now I would not spend the extra money since I just put seat covers on mine anyways.

Now if I did not have kids it might be a different story.

I would love to see pics "in the wild" of the leather... The renderings remind me of the "green dress / grey dress" thing from years ago. Sometimes the tan looks orange, and the khaki looks green.. Anyone have pics? I personally went with a d90x w vintage tan in my order...

I had the same questions when I was in the order process.. couldn't get any info from anyone for some reason.

Anyway, the online configurator is terrible for previewing things. Windsor leather is really nice, it's not super soft and mushy like some other brands, it looks like it'll last a while. The headrest is super nice and soft.
Here's my vintage tan/ebony interior (defender x). This is inside my garage with white LED lighting, so the colors are a bit subdued. The colors in the last picture are more accurate.

That is really helpful. What wood finish is that in the photo? Walnut or Oak?

This one is the "Rough Cut Walnut veneer". It's real wood, and has a nice rough finish with a textured feel.

Not to hijack but in same dilemma. Ideally would like Acorn in full leather but not an option for my build. Oyster looks too light and Tan looks too orange. Can’t tell you the number of searches and forums I’ve looked at. Your pics above and context are appreciated
