Default Leather Repair Kit?

Looking for a Leather repair kit for my 97 ES300. I have a hole in the cushion and the seat covers I've seen lately are pretty cheap looking.. Any advice would be great.. Thanks

Tony

How is the rest of the leather? If it's worth saving seek out a leather repair tech and have him fix it. If you can't find one, check with a top furniture store in your area and ask who they use. They can fix the hole, match the color and grain so you would never know it was there.

I wish you guys were closer. I am a leather restoration specialists in the Mid Atlantic / North East areas.

I use leatherique dye and repair kits as well as their conditioners, cleaners, etc. and they are top shelf products. If you are capable and pretty handy, you could perhaps do it yourself and would thus look at their repair kit #1 (dye - you choose your year, make and model specific color, cleaner, prep agent) and grab a can of crack repair.
