They have really good deals on ebay on covers like $ 25 for ones they say retail for $ 150. I don't know if that is true or not. But they look nice.

Steer clear of the $25 covers on Ebay. You get what you pay for.

For garage purposes only, I like that flannel lined cover. I got mine from Mid America. I like it and it does a great job.

I just bought a Wolf from Midamerica for about 140. It is flannel lined. I think I made a good choice. Good luck making yours!

I really like the "dust cover" from either Ecklers or Mid America (can't remember which). Work great for indoor storage and breathes very well.

Have used wolfe brand covers or covercraft, just make sure the material is Noah***. They are great for indoors and outdoors, very light and user friendly.
