Seat Covers?

I am guessing I will keep my upcoming manual F-Type about as long as I kept my current favorite, a 92 Legend Coupe. So more than a couple of decades. The reasons the seats in the Legend are still in good condition is that I have kept seat covers on them over the decades.
As I suspect this may be the last car I buy (for myself), I want to ensure longevity.
I will likely see if I can find someone to make them. If I meet with success, will share with the rest of the group.

I used the 'instant seat covers' in the link below in my Ferrari. It worked great and easy to remove. Not form fitting, but better than a towel or blanket:

Why not just enjoy the wonderful upholstery that comes with the car, which is a big part of it's overall ambiance. Then, when they begin to look tired in 10 years or so, have them reupholstered in new leather. It seems a shame to put seat covers over them. If you´re not going to use the original upholstery, what are you saving them for?

If the the aim is to protect the passenger seat from work and canine debris (dogs love mud...)a pack of the disposable seat covers used by car mechanics would seem ideal. At the end of each day you just fold them up and throw them in the bin with all the rubbish safely wrapped inside.
A towel is probably still a good idea with the dog.
Keeping the driver's seat leather clean (a damp microfibres cloth works wonders), and giving the leather an occasional treatment of leather care product should ensure it stays looking good for a really long time. Then, there's re-connolising the leather if the surface starts to wear, or - as Foosh mentions - getting them retrimmed.

I had Wet Okoles car seat covers on the front seats of my 2012, they wore like iron and looked as good last year when I traded it in on the 2015, if I had cloth seats in my 2015 or 2016, they would have had them too. Don't really feel the need with the Softex seats, although I do have some terry slip-ons to use as needed that fit the front seats and the rear passenger seat.
