Seat Covers

Looking for recommendation. I have Hatchie Bottom in my old truck. It has a bench seat and they fit and stay pretty decent. Looking for something that fits well and is not hot. Of course I want something that wears well also.

What material would you recommend as well as brands?

so on the covers...pepboys seems to have exact fit covers for our trucks. autozone and advance not so much.

I would like some leather look in light tan if it fit like a glove.....not sure where would be best...but looking forward to the replies.

I have Carhartt fitted seat covers by covercraft in my truck. Same super heavy duty canvas as the pants and jackets and any spilled water (read; coffee) rolls right off. Super hard to stain. Comfortable. Fit super well and snug, don't move around. They can seem pricey, but at 250 or so for a front row set, it's worth the peace of mind. That's my recommendation. They have fitments for every cab configuration and seat style too.

Marathon seat covers are nice, great fit, and last forever. I've heard of a few that like wetokole and rave about them.

Ok, I will start checking on there. Due to the Magnetic exterior I had to get Black interior. That will get really hot down here. It will help in one way though. I sometimes climb in the truck very dirty and the lighter Adobe would be a mess real quick. I will put seat covers on the black also though.

My friend is a mechanic and the "Snap On" truck comes weekly to sell tools. He purchased me Snap On seat covers. This are great. The wife hates these but they handle the abuse from my work crew.

Aztec Seat Covers: find Aztec seat cover for your car

These are the ones I got for my bench seat equipped truck. VERY durable. Map pockets in the back, matching wheel cover and made in the USA! Think it ran me like $150, did take 2 weeks to get.

Can also pull it off and throw it right in the washer.

Ive had 2 sets of wet okole in my wrangler. Both were done after 4 years. The thing is 14 years old and has 50k miles, so shows you have much use they got. The sun really kills them.
