Leather seat repair or replace??

[Russell]

My driver’s side seat BACK (pergament) has worn through where you slide in. Just a 3-inch strip on the lower side of the stitched seam.

I know I can buy a new cover, OEM states over $700 US for the top seat cover. I suspect a used seat will be just as bad as mine.

I will consult my local vehicle upholstery shop to see if they can repair. However, I doubt is they can match the leather or color.

Are there any alternatives? TIA
