Has anyone out there purchased leather seat covers?
I would like to cover my own, or have them covered locally. A client of mine has a tenant who recovers auto interiors with pre-sewn covers, and they do beautiful work.
I've seen ads for a pair of full leather covers that range from about $300 to $1500+ US. There are some in the $600 - $700 range, such as:
They say they are made form "German" leather and have perforations in the insets, and they appear to match my standard Cashmere color seats.
I'm not in the $1500 price range right now, or I would buy a good used set of seats and refinish them if necessary. However, if no one has a good recommendation for a source in my price range, I'll wait until I have the money to do it "right".
Any personal experiences, anyone?

I've used the Auto's International leather seat covers for a 356 before and they were absolutely perfect. I assume their 911 covers would be of equal quality, since Porsche interiors is all they do. Their website lists 911 front seat cover in leather for $513. I assume this is just one, since it does not say "pair". Their vinyl is half that.
Maybe too pricey, but IMO these covers are the standard to judge by.

If I don't get another recommendation for a cheaper option, I'll save my pennies and go with AI. I certainly don't want to make a mistake on something so important as seats.
