I'm curious if the people who has done Katskin leather are experiencing the stretched seat leather we see in the Lariats? The Katskins installs look amazing and maybe it's already been discussed whether the leather or the seat cushion leads to the dimply, stretched leather look in the Lariats.
Has anyone put some mileage on the seats that can say how the cushion/leather holds up compared to the Lariat stock leather?

I know it sounds stupid, but I would consider removing the factory leather from a Lariat and replacing with something else to avoid having seats that look like a 600 lb'der sat in them for years.

I have the clazzio covers that are just like the katskinz, they go on over your factory seat covering so no need to remove the oem leather. I have had mine a year or so and about 25k miles. no stretching yet. still look as good as the day they went in.

I'm probably not qualified to answer as I only have around 4,000 miles on my Katzkins but they look better now than the day they were installed.

I agree the Clazzio covers are my favorite. Checkout truckleather or maybe ebay.
Here are a bunch of pics of clazzio's on trucks facebook.

I don't think so. There is a quite a bit of difference between Clazzio and Katzkin.

I bought the XLT 302A with cloth only because Katzkin was available. I was worried it would not turn out like factory leather but I really love it! I have about 7k on the seats now and they look awesome still and have not stretched. My buddy at work has the Lariat with factory leather and he says he likes mine better than his. In defense he may just be saying that to be nice and I haven't ridden in his new Lariat yet to gather my own opinion.

Clazzios are seat covers that strap over the factory cloth...

Katzkins are installed after factory cloth is removed which would make it more of a factory like installation.

Clazzios are a sliver of leather and mostly vinyl

Katzkins can be ordered in a variety of leather to vinyl combinations ranging from mostly leather front seats and all vinyl back to seats to 100% leather for both front and rear.

I have had the 100% leather kit in mine for the last 10k miles and I haven't had any stretching in mine.

I had a 2011 platinum before with the brown leather and loved it. But I installed the katzkin leather with suede inserts in my 15 XLT and the quality is top notch, 28000 kms and no issues at all.
