ostrich interior belongs to that one truck in the video where they were driving it sideways with that idiot sticking out a can on the passenger side.

Oh, but there is! American Stitches will do that for ya.

Ostrich:



Crocodile:



As an added bonus, they already come in incredibly tasteless, tacky colors! Kinda makes you wonder who they are marketing these things for, eh?

I don't see anything seriously wrong with Ostrich leather unless it's used on rims.

You can get tacky, tasteless colors with any kind of leather.

Hehe true... But when looking at leather swatches, out of 30 different colors, maybe 5 will be crazy colors that you wouldn't find in a factory interior. The rest are nice tones you'd expect in cars.

Looking at those 14 Croc swatches, there's MAYBE 3 there that would qualify as a factory delivered color. lol... Everything else looks like college football team colors.

I have seen factory leather with the red check colors, the orange is available on 350Z & Infiniti FX, even the Lexus saddle leather looks orange under bright sunlight, the blue can be found on Benz, the rest are highly unsual.

Some of the unusual colors are tacky, but I hesitate to make a blanket statement concerning certain colors, whether for exterior or interior of a car.They may not be suitable for most cars, but can work well with certain models with a certain style.
