Seat covers, headwaters?

Looking for a decent set of covers and after some searches here these came up. I was wondering if anybody has any reports on how they have held up or even heard of them

https://headwatersseatcovers.com/

The wife and I looked at the carhartts on a buddies jeep and she was 100% against them. Said they made her legs itch from the roughness of them.

I ordered a set from them this week. I got a phone call to double check the order a placed on line from headwater. Covers a custom made per order. Was told they are currently 8 weeks out. I am currently using the Carhartt covers that I had in my old truck. The Carhartt were ok, but are showing their age and I wanted something nicer.

Going to follow this as I too am just about to buy and had not heard of these. If you find you need to keep looking, I had Carhartt camo in my Tacoma and they looked as new the day I sold the truck as the day I put them on, will likely do them again but will wait to see what members say.

I found because they were mentioned in a couple threads here and got some positive reviews. User @75Mike said he installed some and they fit well..

if it really takes 8 weeks or more to get my covers , chances are I will have forgotten about this thread by then. When I place my order a lot of questions about my truck were asked. Trim level, if you have power seats or not ,and if you have the center console or not. I’m expecting an exact fit as these are not a one size fits most type of seat cover. Only time will tell if it’s money well spent or not.

Well I finally got mine. A little over 8 weeks.

I have coverkings on my wifes volvo and I had carhartts in the 7.3. These are better then both as far as fit and seams. Time will tell if they hold up as well as the carhartts but based on the initial quality II think they will be just as good if not better in that department as well.

Did take a little effort to get them installed though

I still have to do the final stretching and aligning but it started to rain.

I don’t know how they fit on a Ford, but my buddy got Carhartt seat covers for his Tundra. They look and fit like they were custom hand made for his seats and center console. I was really impressed. They’re expensive but, if I ever was in the market for seat covers, I’d get the Carhartts.

I've had Marathon's on my 2012 Rubicon and 2008 F-150 since almost new and they still are great in fit and durability. The intensity of the patterns on the seat bottom wear surface is diminished, but no real signs of wear. They are a job to install, but extremely durable cordura. This is my F-150 after being in service for 10 years.
