sheepskin or other cover source

much as I love nice leather seats, I notice that having a 6 year old as a co-pilot is a little hard on the pigskin. Anyone have good experiences with reasonably priced sheepskin or other seatcovers?

I don't think that I've actually seen any furry sheepskins in a car in the last decade or so (more than a little early '80's aura, I would guess ), but I know of several vendors who still sell them.

Try California Car Cover for lots o' pelt selections.

What about some of the neoprene cover options? These would seem to be more attractive (subjective, admittedly), and more effective in handling the normal kids scuff, scratch and spill issues?

Good luck,
Tim

Costco sells neoprene seat covers (set of 2) for around $22 here in NJ. Seams like a great second skin for protecting seats.

Yep.. I always use them on the street.. not for DE.. my brother also uses them in lala land.. Blue Ribbon is advertised in Excellence.. is made down by San Diego by good import women.. get a catalog. they have a few $ flavors.. after about 10-20hours in the seat with them you may really love them. Pilots use them routinely because of reduced transmitted harmonics.. I like them because of reduced imported stress, which mean more hrs. of wheel time/day.. great in high heat and low cold.. get at least the sheepskin seat area and phony sides/cheapest.. I do the full Monty..........Ron

I had some custom fitted sheepskins on my '67 that I used to get some grief over, but they were very practical. I little '70-ish, but I actually liked they way they looked. I purchased several sets from Sheepskin Experts, 800-558-6188 (no affiliation, just a satisfied customer). Very accomodating.
