Thanks.
I have some grey coloured leather for airplane seats I can do a test with.
I was hoping to find a neat solution to mounting the leather. I am not sure I can make staples look good and small nails might look a bit medieval :)
Maybe I can soak the leather I hot water, let it dry clamped to the seat and then glue it on like you would with a bike seat.

If you just want a simple fixed leather cover it will be very easy to do yourself. There is a spray contact adhesive (Everbuild?) that sticks to leather, foam and wood very well. Just glue down the foam and cut around the seat - use a very sharp blade. Then glue the leather and staple to the underside, you should be able to stretch it round without any folds or seams, as long as you use proper upholstery leather. It is hard to find a professional upholsterer that is affordable! Drop me a PM if you have any questions.
