This may better belong in the General Discussion section.
I have a pending order for a
custom seat from Tom Simmons in Fayetteville, AR. I'm changing from an Ultimate Big Boy which, for me, seems too wide in the saddle horn area. It's great for the first 3-4 hours on the first day & gets worse from there.
To the point: I need to very soon tell Tom which covering to use. I'm interested in function over form. Tom strongly recommends a fabric seat & I agree as I often wish for a cloth seat when sitting on one of today's luxurious leather seats sweating my **** off.
Qestion is which type of fabric. Tom has enough choices to make your head swim. Mercedes has a vynlized fabric " MB Tex " that I really like in an automobile which he has available.
Otherwise, I have no experience with any fabric in particular.
My idea is to just ask Tom to use something with excellent durability, not slippery, heat reflective, that provides ventilation (MB Tex), & lastly looks good within those parameters.
Can anyone offer any advice?
