Canvas seat covers.
Have anyone got these? Are they any good?

I have just bought a set of those - hoping to get them fitted this weekend. They do appear to be very good though, and delivery was only £2.35 (yes honestly) and they came the next day. Great service. Bumf in the bag says they were made in South Africa too. Euro-Leafing to infinity and beyond.....

Nice and thick? Good stitching? Let me know what you think when they are on. Might have to treat myself.

ET used to sell the South African ones, but now do their own. None in the colour I want though. Land Rover Defenders. 67 years heritage, minimal appearance changes, still going strong all over the world. Not a fashion vehicle, but fashionable to own. Made for the needy, not the greedy. Ta ta Defender

I've hummed and haa'd over those very covers for the last few weeks. Not because I want to protect the seats. (Why would you ? They're rubbish ). But I thought if I bought a set of decent covers and squeezed a thin garden furniture type cushion underneath it might make them more comfy and it would be miles cheaper than changing the seats - about 1/4 of the price in fact Thumbs Up

Good plan. Think I'm going to get a set. They do look nice.

Yes - the canvas feels 'heavy' and of good quality, and they also appear well made. Still not got them fitted as I have been playing with my Series One as its been 'National Drive it Day' for classics today. Euro-Leafing to infinity and beyond.....

ET used to sell Melvin and Moon but no longer. Have tried emailing M&M without success!

APB trading are supposed to be the UK distributor/importer of escape Gear but LRIsolutions appear to be cheaper then APB Question

We have been using the Nakatanenga seat covers recently and have been impressed with them. We have shipped some out to our 'tamed' testers and have not had any real negative comments. Only negative comment is they do not work with seat arm rests! OK they are more a universal seat cover then a tailored solution but they will be a fraction of the cost.

Have you tried Sands and Buchanan? I have a set of theirs - very pleased with both product and service.

They look quality and seem to feature a few more nice details worth the extra.
Hmm. Green, biscuit or chocolate?

The Sands and Buchanan ones are really good quality. They were a tight fit which is good as it means it doesnt move around on the seat and 'bunch up' causing creases.
The only downside to buying these is that they still do not do a set for the middle seats or the rears.
A very good product giving a 'tailored' look let down by the fact that you will have to buy another make for the rest of the seats which will look very odd.

Went for the S&B ones, in green and biscuit leather trim. Gave me £20 off the net price too. They're going to look great!
