But Kats are softer, it just takes more to get enough to cover the seat.

No, it was another brand, but still really nice leather, and I did them about 2 years ago. They were a bit less than the Katskins at the time as well, but honestly for a trail crawler and around town toy that the dog is going to bounce all over the Katskins are way too nice.

Finally have it clean enough to get a car in it. Progress! Wife's SUV is getting brakes all the way around this weekend. Someday I will get a real lift, but moving and doing repairs on the new house and property has been a bit more expensive than expected (who would have guessed that?) so my...
