Replacement seat cover quality

Hi All
Does anyone have info on the Lseat product?

I am converting the interior of my 89 3.2 Cabriolet ROW from white to black. It was due and got moused in storage last winter.

When shopping comparable seat covers to replace the fronts, LSeat is significantly lower priced than World Upholstery and Classic 9 Leather. I plan to purchase replacements and have the upholsterer install them.

Any feedback on these three vendors, others and/or the front replacement seat covers is appreciated.

Thanks

World Upholstery is what my well respected upholstery guy recommends - pretty certain he has done hundreds of Porsche seats.
according to my interaction - World seems like a pretty tidy operation. 6 week wait at this point in time. Pelican sells - best to cash in a 10% discount coupon - otherwise a direct purchase is less expensive.
Classic 9 gets good reviews.
LSeat? good value, but seemingly second rate, in comparison.

I've seen some covers by Lseat, bu not their 911 offerings. The quality seems decent, especially for the money. The biggest issue I see is with color and texture matching. they have a very limited choice, with nothing anywhere close to my 911's brown interior or the burgundy from my previous 928. If they had a close match I would have given them a try.

I've heard good thing about World as suggested by creaturecat.

I went with Classic 9, and have been very happy with their work.
For the 911, I had them recover my leather dash, make seat covers with Pasha inserts, and new door panels with added Pasha as well.
My current 928 has Classic 9 (installed before I acquired it) dash, center console, door panels and carpet kit.

My sport seats for the 911 were covered with black "L" seat. I was very pleased with the outcome

I was going to get the Lseat covers, but their customer service on just getting samples and answers to basic questions was so bad, that I went with another option. Went with Autoberry, they were reasonably priced, fast service and nice quality- I think they resell GAHH because mine arrived in a GAHH box.

All leather, perforated center section with correct stitching pattern. Installed them myself, very happy with the results.

my guy uses the gahh for the Mercedes seats. says it's a bit too thick to conform exactly vs the World Upholstery

Don't have experiences with Lseat product, but personally i prefer the wet okole seat covers. Although they are not cheap put they'll protect the seat from pretty much any type of wear/damage.
