First time I've added leather. One minute I love it, the next I think it looks rough. Thoughts? (They were up front and said they had to use last year's font. I don't mind it.)

I had the Alea leather installed and I was very impressed with the quality. It fit tight and had the current Rubicon logo. I’ve heard the Katzkin is good quality, but the looks a little looser than I would’ve expected. Just my opinion.

Hard to tell from the pics. Looks like a traditional Katzkin install. Not too bad to me. I always feel the factory leather looks tighter. I like the katzkin feel and the opportunity to customize but it never seems to fit as clean as factory I’m guessing it’s because of the softer leathers.

Question - can you PM us a picture of the tag, that shows our brand tag. The logo that is shown does not match our version of the Rubicon logo. I would ask the installer to spend a little more time steaming this leather, overall the install is decent - could use a little more work with the steamer. The steamer will have it tighten up.

I’m happy with mine but the installer is a huge part of how well it fits.

also very happy with mine but it seems a little tighter than that and I went with the base katzkin, not the upgraded softer texture

Does anyone have pics of the choices we have for @Katzkin ? I need to choose a new interior this weekend to order Monday morning.

Be careful not to get them wet, the leather has a tendency to stretch. Seem to be the #1 complaint I have seen
