Title: Lamb skin seat covers
Post by: okxd45 on July 05, 2011, 08:23:14 AM
So what is the go to brand for lamb skin seat covers?  I'm assuming by google that Alaska Leather is good.  Any opinions from the Concours brotherhood?

I have the Alaska leather sheep skin on my C14 and works for me after 20k miles and I like the buckle strap that goes under the seat so easy off and on. I had another brand on the C10 with 4 straps that velcroed under the seat, a PITA when you needed to remove it.

Alaska Sheepskin.  I bought a full pelt trimmed it to rough size and had my wife sew elastic straps around the front,  middle and back so it won’t fly off.

Try deadsheep as a discount code on their website.

For the last 15 years, I have just bought a sheep skin from a fair or other vendor.  Cost of about 80 bucks then trim out pieces for the seats, sew on some elastic strapping, go riding.  I have really short legs so it's not like I was ever going to go with a pad with gel or something in it. 

Works great.  Keeps the butt cooler in the summer, warmer in the winter.
