Dubliner Seat Material

During my Spring Break in 2026, I traveled to Boston and spent one of my nights at an Irish pub called The Dubliner. While I was there, I took reference photos of many interesting textures that I wanted to recreate in Substance Designer. This material is based on the pub’s leather booth seating.
