Default Seat cover replacement..

I need to replace the seat covers in my 1988 Corvette. Does anyone have a recommendation on suppliers? Leather is in it now, want to stay with that.

Thanks to all replies

Al Knotch's company makes nice seat covers, my 68's red leather seat covers were replaced with his seat covers over 25 years ago and still look very good today. Long lasting quality. I would use his products again, my white convertible top on the 1968 also came from his company and still looks great after more than 25 years.

A number of guys here have done the job themselves, there's some threads about it. Invest in a good pair of hog ring pliers.

Now might be a good time to get some new seat foam inserts, as well as bringing the lumbar bladders back to life as well if you have sport seats.

Someone in my club recommended them as well.

I bought a pair of Al Knoch seat covers for my 88. I got tan seating surfaces and black trim. Looks nice.
