Default Melvill and Moon seat covers alternative. Check out the quote

I received a quote from Melvill and Moon for a set of seat covers. The covers are $415(R7800) for a full 5 seat set which I thought was reasonable for a made to order set with piping etc. The shipping on the other hand is $315 (R5800) which puts the total to almost $750.

Has anyone found a good tight fitting canvas set anywhere else?

I have been very happy with my covers in the LR3 from the fine folks at https://knightsbridgeoverland.com/.

Customer service has been among the best I’ve had. Not sure how much cheaper they are though

Not sure how tight-fitting they are, but Knightsbridge Overland offers seat covers that seem decent. However, pricing for a full 5-seat set is about as much as the M&M covers with your quoted shipping.

Thanks for the info. Looks like Knights is going to cost about the same. Am I the only one that thinks the shipping from South Africa is nuts?

I love my Melvill & Moon seat covers, and I paid quite a bit more than $750 for them. They are the best covers you can buy - full stop.

Damn, those look really good. I got a quote from FedEx that made Melvill and Moons shipping cost look like a bargain.

Do you Recall how much your total was? How long ago did you purchase them?

All of the covers are nice, however you can buy a full set of seats for those prices.

Maybe, but a full set of seats at that price point would probably need seat covers.

All but my drivers seat looks great. I just want to get some cool seat covers .
