Seat Cover for Chalk Seat

Seat Cover for Chalk Seat
Well, after a winter of waiting, I'm scheduled to take delivery of my 991.2 C2S next weekend. Hopefully, it won't get rained out.
But I had a quick question about seat covers.
I have the chalk/blue interior (14-Way leather seats). And I'd love a suggestion on seat cover options.
Ideally, I'd like a fitted white or natural sheepskin cover for the driver's side seat bottom. I wear jeans a lot, and saw what happened to the pewter gray interior of my wife's Q7, which basically became stained like your teeth after eating a bomb pop or drinking too much sweetberry wine.
I've googled around, but not sure what's really, truly good, and won't crapify the interior. I've checked out Wet Okole, which are neoprene, but kinda feel like they'd be a bit of a buzzkill.
Any actual experience or suggestions? Thanks in advance.

These are cute.
Seriously though - don't bother. It will look like crap. What's the point of getting chalk interior only to cover it up. Just be vigilant on your maintenance.
I think Leathermaster Protection Cream is supposed to help prevent dye transfer. Something to think about

+1 Seat covers are like head covers for golf irons. Don't do it!
My AMG has ivory seats with Alcantara inserts. It's a pain to keep clean, but it's the price you pay for the look. When I wear my selvedge jeans, I put a towel on the seat, otherwise it'll be blue after a month.
After the ivory AMG, blue grey M3, and grey Cayenne seats, I went black on the 991. All the light colored seats on my cars eventually got some transfer dye on them. However, it's a car and the seats are wear items.

Please don't put a lame pair of covers over the whole reason you decided for the two-tone interior in the first place. Here is a pic of mine - 2.5 years later. Still looking and smelling brand new. My only precaution is some leather treatment once a month and a no blue jeans policy. If Mrs. Berlin wants to wear jeans, a towel goes down on the seat.

I have chalk/blue interior with 6200km now since late September and I wear jeans 80% of the time, all you need to do is clean and apply leather protection product regularly. Until today, I see 0 signs of dyes transfer.

The outer protective layer is what the dye transfers onto.
Depends on the type of jeans. If you wear selvedge jeans, the jeans are made to allow for dye transfer. Also the type of leather jackets I wear (chrome tanned horsehide) are also made to allow transfer of dye.

Mr. Berlin, that would be my interior almost precisely. And yours remains looking pretty darn crisp looking except for those unsightly fingerprint smudges on the touch screen (I kid I kid). Gonna try coverless to start...even though I'm a dedicated sheepskin cover guy:
Will report back if I start feeling the blues.
