Get a black and white leather texture.

Make sure everything you want to look like leather is below this texture in your layers.

set the layer style of the leather texture to something like soft light (others work too, it depends on what colours you want the leather to be and what finished effect you're going for) and have layers underneath define the colour/pattern you want to achieve.

Done.

you're alright, anon. thanks

Or if you want some specific leather texture you can use a texture as the base and then put your stuff over and use some layers styles...

why do you need to get a black white leather texture? just find any leather texture then just desaturate it and turn up the contrast or something

Yeah you don't need it to be black and white, I was just trying to make it in as few steps as possible to make it less confusing.
