Melvill & Moon

Melvill & Moon seat covers are now available for the Grenadier.

Melvill & Moon pioneered the use of removable, washable, 100% canvas seat covers for the 4x4 and farm vehicle market over 24 years ago.
With seat cover manufacture now a growing industry, our insistence on high quality fabrics (especially woven heavy duty, 510gsm 100% cotton canvas), our commitment to ongoing design improvement and customer service has seen us remain the benchmark in the industry.

Our seat covers are water repellant, rot-proofed, fully washable and handmade from natural cotton.
They are breathable, cool and comfortable to sit on.

Melvill & Moon Seat Cover backstory

Since 1998 our Seat Cover department has been an important leg of the business. The original seat covers that inspired us were on the East African bush planes ferrying visitors and gear in and out of Nairobi’s Wilson airport to far flung lodges and camps across East Africa.
Our approach was to put quality vehicle specific tailor made design around this idea.
And so it was that Melvill & Moon kicked off a manufacturing industry in 1999. Our insistence on high quality fabrics (especially woven heavy duty, 510gsm 100% cotton canvas), our commitment to ongoing design improvement and customer service has seen us remain the benchmark in the industry. To this day we still work hard to stay ahead, bring you the latest developments and patterns for the latest car releases.

I won’t get the tire cover (want to get a custom one with club logo) but I can’t imagine removing it will reduce the shipping costs that much.

They threw the tire cover in for free for me. I’m sure they would throw it in for free for anyone else also. I dealt with James Melvill directly, very nice dude!!!

Before I spend a small fortune on what I think are the best looking seat covers, those who have them - are they worth it? I would be looking at the ones with the leather trim.

Hi @Krabby , I decided in favour of the covers with the leather trim. I don't regret it and for me they are worth the money.
When getting in and out of the saddle, you keep slipping over the edge, so this area is very stressed. I think that leather is more resistant to this than canvas.

My thoughts exactly. I just fired off an email inquiring about cost of getting a set Stateside and also asking if shipping rates could be adjusted if multiple sets were ordered in a group- buy style purchase.

Hello @Krabby
I had a quote for one set of seat covers back in June. The postage to Australia was going to be about 6500 RAND. For the group buy I organised in November for five seat covers, the postage was about 17500 RAND, so the group buy is definitely worth it.

They are 100% worth it. Best seat covers i've ever seen.

Very happy with my M&M, Sand seat covers but feel price wise, they are right at the top of what I could justify having paid. I got the standard version with spare wheel cover via this forum. Think I paid something like £650.00 all in. The ‘Tougher’ version looks like being serious competition however, at time of ordering I wasn’t aware of them. I suppose the benefit of the M&M version would be the track record and the knowledge that you won’t be disappointed.

Centre console cover in charcoal

As I don't have a centre console lid in my version I am now the proud owner of a spare centre console M&M dark charcoal cover for the lid. Happy to pass onto anyone who may want one. The seat covers and doughnut wheel cover are fantastic. DM me and I will pop it in the post.

How come you don't have one, did you remove or was it not standard on your order?

@ECrider Doesn't come with the UW version - I just have a deep tray area with no lid sitting behind the cup holders

tks Tomdoc, I wasn't aware of that. I presume because the full length cargo barrier that sits behind the front seats means you cannot have a lid as you would not be able to lift it.

Lockable centre console is an option on the utility wagon. I have it on my mine

Out of interest, did anyone find the front head rests impossible to fit? Mine seem 10% too small, so I can't attach the velcro.

yes very tight fit. I've managed about 2/3's of the velcro with lots of pulling. Haven't budged though.

A very tight fit. Had to almost wrestle with the headrest in order to fit. Finish on winning the fight was good.

I also fought. But they lost.

 

[jamesfielding]

Clearly I need to head over to the gym some more, as so far, I'm the one losing

 

[Cheshire cat]

I found fitting the rear seats quite a challenge also.

Stu - I love the M&M seat covers and will probably get some - what really interested me from these photos though is the rubber boot liner. Where did that come from? Been looking everywhere and cant find a UK supplier.

the rear ones by contrast on mine are tres loose! No velcro.
