Katzkin leather seat covers

[2010 Infantry Vet]

Ok just called leatherseats.com
For full leather, perforated, 2 color, with ram logo, and colored stitching the price is 1600. Without ram logo price is $1400. Really nice seats, but too rich for my blood.
They sent me this pic of what they will actually look like.

FYI Ive talked with a Katzkin installer and he recommended against full leather.

Leather will stretch over time, and if the sides and backs of the seat covers are leather, it turns into a very loose fitting cover. Cant fix it other than replacing the stuff completely.

Having vinyl (eh hem....simulated leather) on the sides and backs prevents that so the cover will stay taught further into the future.

Thanks Chris! This is why I love this site. By going the simulated/real combo, it will save me from having loose seats down the road, having my wires touch in my head, and kooking out. Haha!

I am really liking the perforation, and cant wait to see how the katzkin perforation looks. This pic is leatherseats.com

No problem, glad to help.

Probably the only time Ill ever end up with something cheaper potentially being better I think the F150 King Ranch seats are 100% leather (fronts, sides, backs), if you want to look around their forums and see if anyone has issues.

I just called a local shop that does katzkin, they quoted me $1400. For just the seat covers! Just goes to show, you have to shop around!

That may be the difference. I didn't price the full leather seat. Mine was basically just the inserts, or body, that was leather, and the sides were PVC. I bet that's where the difference is.

Check eBay. Last year when I was thinking about pulling thr trigger they’re were several black leather and gray leather katskin sets on there obviously if your wanting more then just a solid color. IIRC it was around $550-600. I then stopped by a local shop and asked if they could install them and told me it would be around $300 or so. So roughly $900. I haven’t pulled the trigger just yet but may do it this year.

I had these Cobra Misano italian leather seats in my mustang. I paid $1300 For each front seat. Backs of the seats were carbon fiber. The leather used on the cobra seat is the same leather thats used in ferrari and lamborghini. Just the leather for my back seat was $600. I paid another $400 to have it put on my rear seat. Should have never sold that mustang. Whoever bought it got a hell of a deal!

I've got the exact same seats in mine. When you installed your covers did they replace the vinyl on the console door as well or did it stay the same?

I kept mine. They match perfect!

I think this is the combo I want now only if I can find a set on eBay. Without having to go and build and spec my own through katskins or anybody else’s sight.

Ok, made up my mind. Style is called two tone combo. Colors will be dark graphite (outer) and tan (inner). Inner color is off in the picture, but you get the idea. I like the two tone combo option because the tan center doesnt come up as high on the seat. Gonna order them next month.

Edit:Chris found me a more accurate pic.

 

[bigkyle72]

how long did it take to install?

 

[BiGMERF]

took me about an hour-hour n a half... make sure your in the shade or in a cool environment... it will make you sweat.. lol

Just wondering if any of you guys have tried the roadwire leather seats? You can get front and rear leather installed from costco for $1299.00. They seem nice. Anyone have em? Love em? Hate em? Why?

Thanks brian.
