Default New seat upholstery options

Hi - I want to refresh the seats in my 2007 JKU. The truck gets a little too much abuse to justify leather Katzkins, but I don't want to just use seat covers. Are there cloth or vinyl reupholstery kits available? If so, what vendors should I look for?

I think before I re-skinned with a cloth, I'd just be going with Bartact covers. Those things are great, don't look like a crappy cover, and if you ever did need to remove them to wash they are easy to do. Durable and didn't fade in the Texas sun when I had em. Guess my issue re-skinning with a cloth is just that....if you spilled something our had to clean them it's more of a struggle. Can't say I've seen a vinyl kit, but I bet a local upholstery shop could do something like that.....though that is probably talking more money than you'd want to spend for vinyl. I love my Katzkin leather, though I got it years ago off one of the forums for a low $415. They were brand new but old stock someone had. Curious to see what others might suggest.
