i used to have a cheap set from super cheap auto, with a hole for the headrest and a seperate cover for the headrest. i just sewed (rather shitty job) the hole up and it looked kinda ok.......thats always an option if you get desperate.

if you go lambswool, make sure they are using large pieces of hyde. some places sell cheaper wool covers that are made up of lots of little pieces sewn together. every seem is prone to shedding the lush fur you want to keep in the seats.
also be aware of wich colours will fade if you dont have tinted windows馃槑

just look up your yellow pages, and start asking questions on price and quality and size of fur
