so....I am not fat...I am 5'7 and 135 and a boxer so I am lean.
I have 0 idea why this is happening but its driving me ape s***.
how can I fix this? It seems to be that the seats have like stretched and now there's excess leather? Any solutions to the problem?

Mine is doing something similar and I'm 200lbs so I don't think it's a weight issue. It's more from the movement of getting in and out of the car. I'm sure any leather repair shop could stretch it back out, but it's not really bothersome to me.

I would assume its the way you are sitting in the car. maybe you slouch and moving yourself back up is creating the ripple in the back. I could be wrong.
Any leather shop can fix it.

Saw a thread on the UK forum about this recently.
Guy used a hairdryer to shrink the leather back. Think it came out pretty much like new.
You run the risk of drying the oils in the leather out though. May need to nourish it afterwards, and don't get it too hot or put the hairdryer to close to the leather!
I'll try and find a link for you now.

I just put new leather on the driver's seat tonight. What a massive PITA job, but i had separation on the driver's outer bolster and the bottom had similar wear without actually splitting like the top part did.
Anyone saying you can adjust the OEM set up is not familiar with how it is built. The hair dryer might work, dunno, never tried. I've never been too worried about anything with seats until the leather is badly scratched or the seams are wearing through, both of which the dark leather in the IS F is known for in higher mileage cars.
My seat looks brand new today!

Worn out seats are a pretty common thing with these cars.
