Steering wheel cover

Okay, I've bought a leather steering wheel cover from Schucks for the past two cars I've owned (over the last 5 years). I was planning on doing to same for my 2K1 SE. However, when I bought the cover from Schucks, I noticed that they changed name brands. Now, the newer cover not only does not fit the steering wheel (too small) but the string that comes with it is hella-cheap. They used to use a thick, waxed string and now use something that looks more like dental floss. Hello?

Anyway, I think the leather on my SE steering wheel looks great, but it's too slick and my hands slips over it. The Schucks cover I've used in the past has actually looked really good and very durable.
I was wondering what, if anything, you all use for yours.

Thanks,

Tony

But if you put a new leather on the steering wheel, the steering wheel gonna look retarded cause it is gonna be thicker than before. Like double wrapped.

Actually, it looks quite good. I did it to my '97 Prelude, and my '97 Explorer and I'd do it again to my Max if I can find the one I'm looking for!!
