Is this normal? Car has less than 300 miles

Completely normal- all top quality leather I've ever seen or owned has had minor natural creases & wrinkles.

Thanks for the reply and I appreciate your insight. It just seems premature to me. I weigh 165lbs and sit as soft as humanly possible when entering the seat. If anyone has pics of their seats in the same area I would be appreciative of you posting so I can compare. Thanks

Normal for leather.

It is an animal hide that, basically, has paint/dye on it for the coloring. That being said, just keep it clean and "conditioned" and it will last a very long time.

Little character creases and streams in the leather are totally normal based on where and how you sit, the flexibility of the seat itself, temperature, and just life itself.

If you want (and you don't) a perfectly smooth surface, get vinyl and/or plastic.

100% to be expected, I wouldn’t concern myself with this too much.

From my experience, just because you are smaller doesn’t mean your leather will wear better. I’m a bigger guy and my pay bmw leather has been better since we distribute the weight more, but this is more on the seat bottom. What you are experiencing there is completely normal.

Yes, real natural leather will have indents and stretch marks are they are from a hide of an animal.
