Default Seat covers

I did a search and just wasted my time with zero relevant threads read.

I am looking to keep my red leather, 3LT if that matters, seats clean and am looking for good fitting and breathable seat covers for them. I am noticing that I have been getting my seats a little dirty and after having light grey and tan leather seats in 2 other cars I own I am not wanting to try to clean these seats and risk damaging the color or leather.

pic just because I like it lol

Anyone have a brand, link or other info that can help me out here? I have found several while looking online, but would prefer to hear from actual owners as to the fit and breathability of the options out there.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks, I will put those on the list of options as something confirmed to be of outstanding quality.

Either of the two above should work very well on your car.

And yeah, that is a good looking interior.

I finally got the "neo supreme" seat cover sample and I am really glad that I waited almost 2 weeks. I have headliner material leftover from doing my truck and this stuff is almost identical to the headliner material and would be a terrible seat cover option in my opinion. Very fragile material that would snag and wear quickly.

I will get some pics posted later today. Depending on the lighting, the red did almost match the AR color of my car which was a bit surprising.

I will take a longer look at the Sandy Eggo offering that I initailly didn't fully care for. I cleaned my leather seats with a damp MF cloth and mildly soapy water the other day and they did look a little better so I might just try to clean them more often than I would like.

11 tries using Chrome, IE and Opera. The above are the only pics that I can load to the site. Sorry but I am not wasting more time on this.

Hi. The Sandyeggo Designs' Seat Skins are our newest offering. IMHO, the quality of our skins are *far* better than those "neo supreme" items. I realize our colors and color combinations are somewhat limited for now. I hope you will find something to your liking!
Cheers,
Dave

Looking for a tight fitting cotton canvas type of fabric seat cover that doesn't need garter straps and hooks to hold them to the seat. Also, don't want any foam padding in them. Haven't seen any as described, since a couple decades ago on a buddy's BMW. Sure wish I knew a supplier of such. I'd sure give them some business.

Firefox at home is letting me upload pics, so here is the color match of the neo supreme against the AR leather just for reference. My phones camera sucks after a the update a few months ago. I rotated the fabric as it looks different from different directions due to the weave of the fabric.

Maybe one of these might be close to what you are wanting.

That is similar to the damage I have in my Legacy GT Limited. I know a guy that did the whole inside of a friends car, including the addition of some extra foam on the drivers seat, for around 1400. That was front and back seats and front and read door cards, glove box and dash pieces. Now you have me thinking about not covering mine and just getting the drivers seat re done when the time comes. Might be about the same price, to replace a section of the drivers seat, as seat covers would be and I wouldn't need to mess with having covers on the car seats either. My sole aversion to getting your great looking seat covers is that you aren't currently offering the look I am interested in. If you offered all red with minimal black accents or something like red sides with red center section in suede I would jump all over that. The diamond pattern looks cool, but it just isn't for me.
