Cooler in summer, warmer in winter.
BMW and Mercedes used to have very tough, high quality cloth. The LRT in Edmonton used to have cloth seats made of the same material as older Mercedes. It still looked good after 30 and more years of very hard use.
They still have various cloth options but not for North America.
