Default Katzkin wear?

Hello everyone, I have seen just about every katzkin install and they look nice. I'm just curious if everybody is liking how theirs have worn in. Thinking about pulling the trigger on a set but I'm wondering how they will "form". Thanks for anyone who takes the time post a pic!

They are phenomenal. I had a professional install them, and they reinforced some of the seat part of it. I love them and they look and feel better than my buddy who has the Lariat Leather. I did, however, get the upgraded part of it where the entire seat is leather and not just the part that you sit on. I would recommend that to prevent uneven wear from sitting.

I can't comment on katzkin but my clazzios follow the contours of the seat nicely. No wear after 2 months.

I'm curious too. I bought a 2011 with Katzkin already installed. Only 12000 miles on the truck but I love the look and feel.

Katzkin's are a complete re-cover of the existing seats and isn't something everyone would want to tackle on their own. Having a professional do it will set you back a few $$$ but maybe worthwhile if that's the road you want to go. For actual seat covers Clazzio are easily a DIY project they are great product for the money and done right as pictured they can fool anyone to think they are factory leather.

Biff the jumpseat console looks bad with the Clazzio factory fit IMO I'd suggest this little customization tip to make it look way better. (Sorry to hi-jack this Katzkin thread)

Ive been thinking of doing this same color combo but wasnt sure how the grey outter with the black center would look. Im sold after seeing your truck. Hopefully ill be having my truck done in a few months.

Thanks for the pics! I have to get a set... Now the question is to install them myself, or let the "Pros" do it? Ive watched the youtube videos but still undecided!

Katzkin is one of the better factory leather replacements out there. I did a Katzkin leather install on a Jeep Liberty I bought years ago... it was almost identical to the factory leather and I got to pick the colors.

I wouldn't second guess any of their stuff if I ever had to replace some factory leather in my new f150.

it forms nicely with the heat from the sun. or even if u take a steamer to em to get all the wrinkles out.. they will wear well, the drivers side will get its usual stretchmarks and such after a couple years like anything else..
