Cheap leather seat covers?

OK I am speculative of the grammar in this ad. But man that is a good price compared to World Upholstry.

I am pondering ordering a set just to assess the quality. Anybody else notice these or have an experience to share?

Seems like they are probably not using german leather, I might be concerned that the dye is off and the stitching isn't a good as OEM. The seller has 100% positive feedback but not many feedback, but you do have ebay's money back guarantee on this item.

I was thinking if he could make a 5 pleat in bamboo I might have a winner here. I could get my entire car redone for less than one seat cover from world. I will read ebays fine print a bit more before deciding to jump...

As long as he has the correct patterns...he can make them as good as OE....or even if he disassembled a seat skin for patterns.....question is do they include the felt strips and such to mount them...

I'd be curious about these too. Seems a new seller on Ebay, but that's how you get the deals, new seller wants to build reputation FAST...then the prices will go up. Great lead! Thanks. I wasn't ready to do the seats in the car yet, just figured that'd be a WAY down the road thing, but if I got these I'd want to install them right away, make sure I liked them before the return policy expires. Look at the other items they have, funny assortment of cars, Ford Pinto, Chevy Impala, Land Rover, AMC AMX...hilarious.

Greazzer bought some new ones. I don't know if they are cheap though.

The PO of my last coupe had the seats redone with something that looked like that.
$300 worth of seat covers. Better than old, ripped and faded, but not original look or feel.

I saw those on ebay, when I looked into it he said that he didn't have the pattern for the coupe seats and suggested that I take my seat covers off and send them to him for a pattern. I think I'll let some one else do it. The comments were all positive about the seat covers though.
