I’m sorry I was sloppy with my word choice, I was under the assumption that the OP wanted to know if these were comparable to a tensioned leather touring saddle, based on the specific asking about the rivets.
My concentration on vintage is in the touring aspect and I jumped to a conclusion based on my experiences.
no disrespect was intended at the many high quality, real leather saddles, some of which incorporated rivets as a decorative details.
