Seat Cover Reccommendations?

Great install work! These look amazing. I have OEM seats in black that I used to replace my OEM khaki seats when the driver side wore through. I like the color combo. Unfortunately not long after new seats went in, I had a screwdriver in my back pocket when hopping in and put a hole in the 'new' driver seat...
I like the Bartact’s more so over the Caltrend due to the horizontal stitch at the base of the headrest along the front face. I think it breaks up the seat panels to look more factory - and I like the factory look.
Did you use a steam machine or other tools to help get rid of some of the 'wrinkles' I've seen on other Bartact installs?
Better yet, pay once and don't cry at all. There are perfectly functional, good looking, long lasting seat covers thst cost a whole lot less than Bartact.

No steam for me. They had some Arizona desert dust on them, so I washed them on a delicate cycle, hung them up in my workshop until the next day, then installed them.

I have Marathon seat covers in my Jeep, they came with it when I bought it, they fit nice and are waterproof. They clean up easily. I’m sure they have more color options. Mine are digital camo. Made in Montana.

I like them. Fit is good and tight. I noticed a little rubbing on the front edge of the drivers seat because I rub there so often. Mostly they look brand new. For the price they’re hard to beat. I think I paid $140 for two front seats and the rear seat.
EDIT: I’m sure the Bartacts are superior, but I’m not willing to drop that kind of money.

Those are 2-piece fabric doors from Bestop. I picked them up when Khaki was an available color (and they were a LOT less expensive than they are now). Very handy, though. I'll stash the uppers in the back in case I run into weather and I can go from wide open to enclosed in a matter of minutes.
I think Marathon seat covers are the best out there. I've had them in all my rigs. There is a lot of color patterns to choose from.
I like digital camouflage, part of me wants to paint my hood navy digital camo so people can't see how screwed up the paint is.
