Hello Sean, Thanks for getting in touch about our product description for this item. I've checked our inventory and I am pleased to confirm that this item is 100% real leather. 'Coated Leather' is a type of leather fabric, where the surface coating applied to the leather fabric is less than a third of the total thickness of the product, but is in excess of 0.15mm. I'm sorry if our product description is confusing, but rest assured this item is 100% genuine leather.
I hope this helps, but please get back in touch if there is anything else I can help you with. All the best,
