Leather recommendations?

My expedition is obviously waaaay out of warranty. The factory leather is cracked in places and discolored. What do ya'll think are my best options for replacing the leather? Are there some decent aftermarket sources?

I know I've read and seen several aftermarket sources but, I might recommend that you try a local upholstry shop first. I had a buddy that priced out replacement covers and then went to an upholstry shop...

The shop gave him a better deal and a higher quality product that he's THRILLED with. Just FYI...

I've looked long and hard at Katzkin covers for my truck (http://www.autoleathers.com/HTML2/AL.MAIN.FS.html). They have patterns for almost every seat imaginable and an almost endless list of available materials and colors. I saw a set of their replacement covers in a Ford Explorer show truck and was very impressed with their quality. I'm still thinking about a set for my SuperCrew. I really like the idea of having a truly 'custom' interior. Take a look and see what you think.

Heck man... as much business as I've pumped his direction, I should get a cut... too damn bad that I don't.

Maybe he'll give me free shipping on my next order or something...
