Anyone using Cobra RSR or Stuttgart seats?

Anyone using these seats?

https://www.subesports.com/cobra/classic-rsr/cob-11037

https://www.subesports.com/cobra/stuttgart/cob-13000

Any thoughts on comfort for someone with a 36-38 waist? The seats are available in several fabric options (corduroy, houndstooth, leather, vinyl). I have seen a few pictures of them installed but not much feedback. I'm wondering how the RSR would be for long drives, if you sit "in it" vs "on it"? The Stuttgart is a replica of the early sport seats and looks nice too. Anyone have them?

I've got the Classics. I'm a 34-36 waist with 38 shoulders and it's a slight squeeze for me. I'm used to skinny little Subaru STi seats so it feels normal, but I think people any larger than me might feel pinched.

that would be a tight squeeze! That is the problem with the 911. The good looking seats are tight. The right fit looks funny in the car, especially if they are wide on top.
I had to go with the Scheel Fat Ass 501s, which were made in the period for a 72. Still haven't found the proper brackets, so I have to go floor mount or weld up something custom. The fat asses are extremely comfortable and very supportive in the twisties. But still looking for something better.

I've actually got a pair of those same Sheel seats but they need to be reupholstered. I think the RSR Cobras look good but might not be comfortable on long drives. I've sat in the RS and they look great but weren't very supportive for me. Stuttgart looks good and is reasonably priced but may be too flat. Decisions, decisions...
