Re: Wet Okole "Stitching"

I was so excited...my Wet Okole's shipped and they were scheduled to be here while I was on business trip. I got back today...and there the box was in all of it's glory. I opened them and saw the black and school bus yellow colors in all their glory. I almost felt a tear of joy fall down my cheek. Then I looked at the stitching of the FJ cruiser logo in detail. It is not a stitching but rather an iron on piece of felt type material. Is this what I should be expecting or should it be something different? It looks nice but i am worried about long term durability.

Any thoughts out there?
If they were to embroider the way you are thinking, they would have ruined the covers. When you sit in the seat, the stress on the holes where the thread would have gone, would have ended up causing the covers to rip. The material cannot take the stress that the embroidery would have given it. It is not made for that. Trust me, the iron on logo is the way to go.

BTW I come from a long line of seamstresses and quilters in my family so I understand the issue. Enjoy your covers!
