Should a leather/fabric place be able to stitch that back up?

Eeek, look into some auto recyclers. I imagine they're pretty universal.

Leather place should be able to restich those. It doesn't look like the leather is bad.

Default My dad used to do some reupholstery back in the day (built furniture), he's gonna play with them...

...for now, I'm just happy to get them out of the car!
It's very stiff, so we won't be able to just stitch it back together. I think this project is going to use some of my dad's creativity.

Default Have you looked into this stuff? Best not to have your leather get too dried out....

Hey thanks for the link, I'm looking into it. I think my dad has leather conditioner here though.
