Thanks but I`m not into leather
This has to be cloth or houndstooth.

If you can get the covers off then you're made, the fabric dye fixed with salt would be ideal, loads of colours to choose from too

what material is the cloth ?
DYLON ! woud be the best if you can get all the fabric removed, in to washing machine with dylon and salt, youd have to read up on the right dylon product for the material
as its heavy wear-a lot of sitting in and rubbing on cloting etc, you want to use the right dye that wont rub off and stain
