Seat Covers

I could ask this in another section but I spend most of my time over here so I thought I would try this first.
I am looking to put some seat covers on my truck and I am looking for recommendations. I have a 97 with the folding console in the middle. (folds up to make a bench) I was wondering, who makes a good cover for the two buckets? I don't care if I cover the center. I have looked at some of the universal covers but I tried them on another truck and they were pretty nice for about 2 weeks and then they looked like crap from wrinkles and stretching out.
I think some of those camo covers look pretty good (my interior is tan) but I don't want to order them if they are gonna be junk. I haven't found anyone here who stocks them so I can see them before buying. I'm looking to spend around $150 give or take. No $500 dollar covers.

Any of you guys have any recommendations?

Thanks

I did check into that here and it was quite a bit more than I wanted to spend. It's still an option if I have to. The only place I could find here wanted $200.00 per seat to re-upholster them.

I used marathon seat covers and loved them.
They are NOT made of neoprene so your truck wont smell like a stinky wetsuit.
They can also sow in any extra pockets or anything custom that you need and you have your choice of patterns from the old school saddle blanket style to Max4-HD

Those are sweet, I just googled "marathon seat covers" and went to their site directly. $219 plus freight.... Is there another source any cheaper that you know of? If they are good quality, that's not a bad price.

Thanks Maverick
