Tailored Sheepskin seat covers on my X5
Just wanted to share my tailored sheepskin seat covers which I had made for my X5 specifically. I went for a curly wool option which is more durable and doesn't change its appearance over wear.
I took a pattern for my seats so they fit perfectly snug and are airbag compatible. They also do not cover the side seat adjustment buttons, and the thigh supports still extend in and out as they are covered by a separate piece of sheepskin. Also helps with reducing wear and tear from the side bolsters when getting in and out of the car. Made using Australian sheepskin in Melbourne. I'm in the sheepskin industry in Australia. Sheepskin is a great product as they don't feel hot in summer or cold in winter. Pics below for anyone interested. image uploader image uploader Last edited by gapmatt; 06-20-2020 at 12:46 AM.. |

So.. if you’re posting for feedback:
1) super not my thing, but good news, it’s not my car! 2) the fitment looks superb, kudos 3) it would be 100000% better if it were dyed black |

Thanks for the feedback guys, thought the support would have been higher!
We make a number of tailored sheepskin seat covers for our customers in Australia. I chose the grey for a different look, could have gone with a charcoal grey. Might look at it later on down the track. Aside from the aesthetics, they are very comfortable especially in our current winter climate as they don't feel freezing cold when getting in. Perhaps it's more an Australian thing! Thanks all |

That aside. I can see that you put a lot of work in it and it is done professionally. Looks like a perfect fit. So bravo for that. And I can understand your passion for sheepskin if that is you do. |

As long as we have a mat to take a pattern, we can cut out using our sheepskin hides and sew up. My seat covers pictured above are a bit different to our usual seat covers. Generally you'll find the sheepskin used in my car upholstered on Scandinavian furnitures. |

That actually seems super cozy. Never saw sheepskin used this way before.
