Seat covers

I don’t want to reupholster my seats at this point. They appear to be the original canvas with a few duct tape repaired rips.

I am looking for a decent slip over cover to make it presentable without spending a ton of money. Lots of options online but most get poor reviews on terms of durability. Any pattern or look is fine.

I figured there would be people on here with real life experience that could recommend a decent product.

Any experience or recommendations?

Thanks!

This is an original pic from when I got the truck. This seat cover was an ugly dirty mess. I don’t have any pics of the seat as is now. Going to be a couple of days before I can get one. Truck is under a big tarp and I can’t open the doors. Raining here for a couple of days and don’t want to mess with it until it stops.

Found another pic. Not a great one but maybe it gives you an idea.

I just put one of those cheapie Saddleman seat covers on mine. Just to cover up the torn up seat until I can get it reupholstered.
Hopefully that will be in about 3-4 months.
I can't weigh in on what the long range durability is though.
I saw the negative reviews also, but since its only temporary, I went with it anyway..

After putting it on how does it seem to work for you? Having it in hand is the quality at least ok?

Thanks!

The material is pretty heavy duty. so it seems like it would last awhile. Just keep sharp objects away from it, it will unravel easily. I laid a drill motor with a bit in it
on the seat, and I just barely touched the cover with the bit & it pulled some thread out..
The loops on the cover that you tie the ropes to, dont look like they are sewn on very good. So i didnt pull the ropes real tight in fear of ripping them off.
