Besides belts and furniture coverings, there are many more products out there that are made of this cheap "pleather". It's simply a thin plastic coating sprayed onto fabric. You will find it used in sneakers, golf shoes, "all weather" golf gloves and more. After a while the coating shrinks, cracks and flakes off. Had the same experience with chairs from a dining room set. Happens all the time. A cheap, poor substitute for real leather.
