Seat Covers?

Hi all, looking to buy an X in the future and am wondering if anyone knows of companies that sell seat covers. I like the options that the limited comes with but want cloth seats on XLT. I don't want some cheap walmart looking seat covers either but something that looks closer to factory. If there is none, I'll have to settle for the XLT.
Thanks again.

I like my Supreme Seat savers. They are canvas, and as long as you stay clear of the camo, they are pretty durable. http://www.seatsavers.com/ They are custom fitted, there is a work sheet to do to get them right.

Just got done looking at the website, and they look great. That is exactly what I was looking for and the price is good too.

Thank you. Could you post pics of yours, I would like to see the final look in the X.

I have a F250, but I'll try to find more batteries and shoot a couple pics of my 40/20/40 fronts and rear bench.

They are 3 years old, but in decent shape, it's dark outside so ignore the poor picture quality.


They can be straightened and ironed, but I left them off for the summer and this is how they fit after being rolled in the closet for 2 months. I have leather under them, so I use these to protect it from the sun. I like to take them off from time to time to care for the leather and let it breath. Other than maintenance and show off the leather, these covers stayed on the seats for the whole 3 years, washed about twice a year in the washer/dryer.

Thank you for the pics. The seats look great and I really like the blue oval on them too. Looks sharp and thank you.

Do you have leather under the covers or cloth?

It a lariat, so tan leather.

Just like the steering wheel cover, Wheelskins - The World's Finest Genuine Leather Motoring Accessories, Steering Wheel Covers, Driving Gloves and Shift Boots I have this leather cover protecting it.

The only thing I dislike about these covers, and I've talked to the manufacture several times (I used to sell these, so I had them on the phone frequently) is the power seat controls. They can't cut the controls out and keep the fit, so you have to figet a little to move the seat or find the heater button.

However, I haven't found anyone who makes that cutout.

The logo is black, they typically use either black or grey. You can opt for no logo, but it's an extra charge. Or for more money, you can have a different logo put there.

I have Wet Okole's in my Lightning and would never consider another cover.

They are expensive, but to me, WELL worth the cost.

Wet Okole has their own website with tons of pictures.

Here's how they look on my Lightning.





Originally started in Hawaii by a surfer who wanted to keep his seats from getting wet. The seat covers are made of neoprene and do a FANTASTIC job of protecting the seats, and they wear very well too. I'm a really big guy and am hard on my seats.

Wet Okole literally means wet butt.

Those are really nice and thank you for the info. A little pricey but I think worth it like you said. I am going to have to get the back support option, what a great idea. Thanks again.
