I don't know if any of you are familiar with Ollie's discount store. They mostly sell crap, but I saw coated nylon bucket seat covers in Realtree w/black trim, for $12 each, including separate headrest covers! For that price I took a chance. After 4 months, no complaints. They fit, don't shift around or come loose. No seams coming apart. I don't expect them to last for years, but at that price, I'm very pleased. Good idea! Spend $600 on gas to drive to Texas to buy $12 seat covers. Campfire logic. So, no Ollie's in Henderson, eh? I'm about 10 miles away from one. Been to Henderson, about 20 years ago. Nice area. Nope,no Ollie's here. Checked it out online and it shows Texas area stores only and no online sales. Henderson is nice, it was nicer 20 years ago.

Without a doubt the best seat covers I've seen/used at a reasonable cost are from here. https://www.clazzio.com If using leather usually catskinz or however it's spelled. I start at Clazzio though.

I like the Marathons. They are made over in Bozeman. They can install them as well. The ones that I had on my Tundra lasted 8 years and still in good shape when the truck was totaled. Got some new seat covers for my F150 replacement.

Same day photos today in dog mode.... ![[Linked Image from live.staticflickr.com]](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50531340257_36887c1599_z.jpg) ...and then grandchild mode..... ![[Linked Image from live.staticflickr.com]](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50530440608_4106f768cd_z.jpg) Kryptex seat covers, $30 ea. They work, mostly. A full set of Marathons would run $400+ Got a $200+ set of Weathertech floor mats inbound, after that gotta do a towing hitch, electric hookup and a cap, might get around to Marathons after that.

I figured you'd just use shearling? Great minds and all that you know
personally, I saw about 350 seat covers unloaded at your place the other day.

Well, I didnt read the thread.....missed the fact that Marathon is made in Montana.
I did order a set for the front row.
Just received a call from Marathon....confirming my order.
They will be done next week.....
Just need someone to pick them up!
They have an 8(!) week lead time to ship. Or I can pick them up next week.
Crazy.

7 pages of well thought out and crafted responses and Jimbo don't read it. WTF? I'm starting to think some people and for sure the OP don't take this place for the great think tank it is.

'88 Burb? I used to have an '86, white, that I called the Beluga. It had a great body but the upholstery was totally shot, along with the engine and transmission. In fact, the body was the only good part of it. New seat covers wouldn't have done much for it.
I parked it out front with a for sale sign. It sat for a couple months then a guy showed up drooling for it as he counted out the cash, no dickering. He had an '86 that he'd completely restored, new engine, tranny, upholstery, camo paint, lift kit, tires, etc. Then he rolled it. He'd been looking for a clean body for 6 months and when he saw mine, he couldn't get his wallet out fast enough. If I'd known he was coming, I could have doubled the price and he would have grabbed it.

Were I a bovine breeder, I'd get seat covers in the correct shade of greenish brown. Mine are Machine Mung Spotted Dark Gray.
