Exclamation Torn Leather Seat

Just bought a pair of pants from buckle (theres my problem right there) and there are buttons that have sharp edges and I realized today that its been cutting into my leather seats. Any ideas on what to do to fix this?

I don't see how pants can do this.... What kind of pants have sharp edges that can tear through leather seats?

I don't think this is a DIY job (at least for me). There are leather upholstery guys who can patch, or even replace the center section of your seat.

I have some flaws in mine too from a harsh cleaning. I'm considering taking it to a leather guy to have him match up and replace just the bottom center tufted section--not a big job at all for someone who knows what they're doing.

They are BKE pants from buckle, they have about 15 buttons and each is a metal 5 sided button and after a year are getting loose so when I get in and out it grabs the leather.
I used to work at a upholstery shop and they werent sure on what to do exactly. I want my baby fixed is all haha

+1, and not that expensive either. I had my Durango leather front seats totally recovered for $200. The guy did it in a day.
