Wantin' Leather in my '06 XLT

I've had it with these Flint colored fabric seats in my truck. Just too hard to keep clean. You heard the complaints before about even pure water spilling on the fabric discoloring it.

I'm ready to suck it up and get some leather seats (front and back) on my SuperCab.

I found a place in Irving, Texas that will cover the seats for around $1095 mono-colored or two-tone it for an extra $50. They said they can use leather from Katzkin or Classic Soft Trim.

Can anyone give me any advise on which of the two brands is better? Anyone have pictures in their gallery or that they can post of aftermarket leather in your F-150?

I work with a guy who used to cover bar stools for a living. He said Katzkin is great stuff. Of course, sitting on your butt in a bar and sitting in your truck may be slightly different... I dunno - I feel sexy either way.

I've sat on a bar stool and felt sexy many-a-time.

Now I'm just looking for that feeling in my truck.

BTW Great lookin' STX you got there.

Thank you!

I see you're fairly close to me. Let me talk to my friend and see if he can cut a deal on some re-covering... That is if the whip-master gives us time off work anytime soon... I'm still waiting for him to do mine!
