Steering wheel problems

The leather on our steering wheel is getting worn after 190k almost, i can feel it starting to get thin in areas and the color is really worn off, is there a solution to bring it back nice, i hate them tick covers, i like the leather also.. do i need to craft my own cover somehow and sew it on, i dont want it to look all cheesy and cheap.

I am either going to send mine, or just replace it depending on the price to repair and of course turn around time till I get it back from a company called Dallas Custom Steering Wheel. Google them and you will see the X wheel on page 3 I belive. Their work is supposed to be really good
