hello,I am looking to see what the forum folks here have been using as far as seat covers. I did recover my seats about 25 years ago and they still look great. but when I enter on the driver side the seat gets scratched from getting in. I did use MSA covers back then, and I would like to install new foam and better seat covers, any suggestions? thanks

I would use leather. Like these

have you use them, as far as leather not scratching through the color? and how was the fit? thanks

Here's something you might find useful. I think they're synthetic though but a good read when you have time.

I am installing their interior kit instead of vinyl and if I recover the seats I will use their kit. I'm not too concerned about wearing through the color. Pretty much all of my cars have leather and I've never worn a seat out. And I love the smell of real leather!

I have to make some calls to see if all the material is not faced dyed. my driver seat when getting in the bottom corner close to the door gets scratched. I believe the synthetic material it faced dyed.  I need to use touch up paint after a while for it to look good. the foam is getting really old, so I am going rebuild the seats and would like to use a material the is colored all the way through. thanks Carl, for the post about rebuilding the seats ALOT OF INFO!

I did the leather from Interior Innovations back in 2018 and would do it again. I also did the matching leather e-brake and shifter boots.
