Smile Wet okole..Katzkin..others? I need ideas

im trying to decide what to cover my seats with. The wet okole material is appealing, but im thinking some nice custom leathers would be nice also.

does anyone know what i can expect to pay for either of these set ups?
are there any other good leather aftermarket companies besides katzkin?


finally, if you have pics of what you covered your seats in, post em up..

Yes it did. Keep in mind that I negotiated the price into my truck deal so the actual price is over $1K.

i say get seat covers according to what you will be using your truck for. For example, if you like the comfort and clean look of the leather, then by all means get the leather. If you do a bunch of outdoor activity which means wet and dirty, then I would get something like the wet okoles or the cover kings. either way, its going to be expensive for any kind of seat covers, so make sure you'll be utilizing them to your best advantage.

Just keep in mind with leather covers or leather seats, you have to take care of them. It also get hot under the sun.

For me personally, I will avoid leather.

I personally don't like neoprene and leather for the same reasons....in the summer, they make me sweat and in the winter, they're COLD as can be.

So I've always purchased clothe seat covers for my rigs. On my 2007, I bought a set of custom built covers by Ruff Tuff. http://www.rufftuff.com/
They make all sorts of covers in all sorts of materials including leather & neoprene.

These pictures were taken right after installation... I'm not all that picky with my stuff - these fit perfectly for my expectations and the color match is awesome! The only downside to these - they're custom made and are a bit pricey.
I love 'em regardless!

I have a set from GT Covers and love them. They fit like a glove and will provide you color swatches if you asked them. Here's their web site: http://www.gtcovers.com/.

I have wet okoles for my DC. This time around I went with no toyota logo or piping. Color match is great, no complaints except maybe the price, but they do offer discounts for military and law enforcement occupations. Maybe some others? I really like the console cover especially with my dog and they are easy to clean imo. Here are some pics
