Texturing Fake Leather

All the above textures came from only 2 different types of fake leather. Any interest in learning how? Here:http://www.instructables.com/id/Texturing-Fake-Leather/
Altered Vinyl Samples

Fake leather, vinyl, vegan leather, pleather - call it what you like, you probably know the stuff I'm talking about. It's almost a staple for any sci-fi movie costume department. But straight off the shelves the stuff is sort of boring - one monotone mass of fakey texture, in either high gloss or matte. I could find plenty of references for aging genuine leather, but there wasn't much out there for vinyl. So, I experimented.

All of the above came from only two pieces of fake leather, and the only difference between the two was the thickness. I made a tutorial, which you can view here. Hopefully someone out there can make good use of this information.
