Yep, the Toyota Century being the most famous example. They also use net curtains 'cause tinted glass is far too gauche.

If I had a Bentley I'd absolutely have it with custom wool seats. Aston did a collaboration with Hacket :D

My sentiments entirely! Mind you, try selling a prestige car with cloth seats...
