source for leather seat covers?
Anyone know a good source for leather seat covers in the factory pattern? I just picked up two condition-unknown 944 seats at a Studebaker (?!?!?!?!) swap meet for $20. yup, you read that right. Well I just threw 'em in my buddy's pickup and didn't look at 'em real closely. I tried them the other day and the height adjustment on them works perfectly. Better yet, they appear to be "half leather" (seating surfaces only) and cleaned up real nice. Only problem is that the bottom cushions are mouse-chewed where the perforated part meets the side bolsters. The seat backs are pristine. Does anyone sell a kit, or better yet, just the bottom covers for these? Or is there someone local (DC area) that could sew in new leather for me? (the vinyl looks OK, and truth be told, for a driver, they're almost fine as is.)
I have the Rennbay covers on the seats I took out and they are OK, but the leather is much thicker and more quality feeling, plus one of them needs to be recovered and have a new height adjustment switch installed (the whole reason that I bought these seats, so worst case I would have the switches to fix mine.) thanks, nate

I plan on using leatherseats.com when I get to that part. I've never tried their products and don't know anyone that has, but I like their prices. WorldUpholstery is another source and 928leather.com is another, however both of their prices are higher.
