Recaro Sportster CS's are offered in full leather as well as some vinyl and cloth options. They are OEM seats for the Lotus Evora as well as option seats for some other cars. They are lighter and more supportive than stock. I know Project 370Z got theirs reupholstered with some brown and tan leather and alcantara with a diamond pattern in the middle. Sexiest nonsupercar seats I've ever seen.

Another option if you are smaller waisted could be Bride seats. Their Stradia/Gias reclining seat is pretty killer. Most are that non leather material, but they also have alcantara versions. Those are lighter than the Sportsters.
