Seat covers for captains chairs

Hello hello.

Any ideas where I can order some removable seat covers for the front seats in my van? They are captains chairs with arm rests and head rests. I can only find covers for seats with no arm rests or ones with a hole in the side. Ideally I want something that will cover the arms too. The upholstery is in good condition and I want to protect it.

I had some cheap £15 black nylon seat covers from Tesco or Halfords in my last car, and they were horrid, so static I gave myself electric shocks every time I got out of the car! So ideally something slightly better quality than that. And something slightly funky that looks nice would be amazing (although I draw the line at animal print fur etc...)!

Or is it time to get the sewing machine out...?

I think it is, besides you can make the colour match a bit better

Hello,
Team28Crew, how did you do this with the covers? I'm pretty rubbish with sewing machine but could maybe persuade a friend if i'm lucky. Have you just sliced up the rear seat covers to make the arms rest covers? and did the actual seat covers fit this well or is there a lot of modification needed? sorry if i'm being a total bimbo here
thanks,
Cat
