Seat covers

Post by Kelley »

Fellow 170'ers, Happy New Year! I'm looking for seat covers for every day use, not much of a sower, knitter, etc. any ideas? Thanks Kelley, no the other one!

Stay away from the transparent plastic covers. :lol:

Seriously, look for something fire resistant. Sheepskin maybe? Pet peeve of mine is the FAA having all these fire-resistant requirements for aircraft upholstery and then airlines providing crew members polyester uniform material.
Happy New Year!

PLUS ONE! I argued that at my employer for years, and when I became chief pilot we got new uniforms!

As for seat covers... to protect my "original fabric" refurbished seats, they are covered in flame-retardant-treated cotton slip-covers sewn by the upholstery shop.

I've been very happy with my sheepskins from Aerosheep.
