Can I fit canvas seat covers to vehicles that are fitted with side air bags?
Yes. Janders supplies vehicle-specific seat covers designed for vehicles equipped with seat-mounted side airbags.
Where a seat cover is designed for a seat with a side airbag, the cover incorporates the appropriate airbag-compatible construction and stitching so the cover is designed to allow the seat-mounted airbag to deploy as intended.
It is important to choose the correct seat cover for your exact vehicle, seat configuration and airbag arrangement. Do not install a generic seat cover that is not designed for a seat-mounted airbag.
If you're unsure whether your vehicle requires an airbag-compatible seat cover, contact Janders before ordering and we can help confirm the correct option.

Are canvas seat covers hard to fit?
Most Janders vehicle-specific seat covers can be fitted at home using the supplied fitting instructions.
The covers are designed to fit closely over the original seats, so the initial fitting can take some time as the covers are positioned and tensioned correctly.
We recommend:
- Identifying each cover before starting.
- Cleaning or vacuuming the original seats.
- Matching the seams of the cover to the seams of the seat.
- Ensuring straps and flaps are correctly positioned.
- Checking that seat rails, levers, buckles and other controls are not obstructed.
- Checking the operation of the seat after fitting.
Some covers may require additional care around seat-mounted airbags or particular seat configurations.
After the covers have been fitted and have had time to mould to the seats, they may need to be re-tensioned for the best possible fit.
If you need help, contact Janders on 1800 660 338.

Are canvas seat covers comfortable?
Absolutely! Once fitted to the vehicle and once they’ve been sat on for a short period, you would not know they were there. They do not provide any discomfort at all, and are the best protective seat cover on the market.
How long does it take for the seat covers to be sent once they have been ordered?

Where are Stallion Canvas Seat Covers made?

What are the best seat covers for a ute or 4WD?
The best seat covers depend on how you use your vehicle.
For work utes, 4WDs and commercial vehicles that experience mud, dust, dirt, spills and heavy daily use, heavy-duty canvas seat covers are a popular choice because they provide strong protection while remaining comfortable for everyday driving.
Janders supplies several leading options, including Stallion Canvas, Black Duck Canvas, Black Duck 4ELEMENTS and Forge, depending on your vehicle and requirements.
For example:
- Stallion Canvas – heavy-duty Australian-made canvas designed for demanding work and recreational use.
- Black Duck Canvas – heavy-duty canvas with vehicle-specific patterns and a wide range of applications.
- Black Duck 4ELEMENTS – a heavier-weight cotton twill composite designed for tough conditions while retaining a softer, flexible feel.
- Forge – a range designed with commercial and fleet applications in mind, with canvas, neoprene and vinyl options.
The best option also depends on your vehicle, seat configuration, colour preference, budget and how the vehicle is used.
If you're unsure, contact Janders and our product specialists can help you choose the right cover.
Are canvas seat covers waterproof?
Canvas seat covers are designed to provide a high level of protection against everyday spills, dirt, dust, mud and moisture, but the level of water resistance depends on the specific seat cover material.
Janders supplies several different canvas and protective seat cover materials, so the exact performance can vary between products.
For example, Stallion Canvas is made from heavy-duty 12 oz (525 GSM) coated canvas designed for demanding conditions, while Black Duck offers both Canvas and 4ELEMENTS options.
For maximum protection, choose a seat cover specifically suited to the conditions your vehicle operates in. If you're regularly exposed to heavy rain, mud, wet workwear or liquid spills, contact Janders for advice on the most suitable material for your vehicle.
Are seat covers worth it?
For many owners, particularly people who use their vehicles for work, recreation or off-road driving, quality seat covers are a worthwhile investment.
Seat covers help protect the original upholstery from:
- Dirt and dust
- Mud
- Water and spills
- Grease and grime
- Work clothing
- General wear and tear
- UV and everyday use
Protecting the original seats can also help keep the vehicle's interior looking better over the life of the vehicle.
For commercial vehicles and work fleets, seat covers can be particularly useful because they help maintain the condition and professional appearance of vehicles that are used heavily every day.
The key is choosing a vehicle-specific seat cover made from a material suited to the way the vehicle is used.
Why the need for embroidery?
Your vehicles travel around with many people seeing the vehicle interior (even though you may not think this is the case). With embroidery, a more sleek and professional look is produced. Combined with the quality of Stallion Canvas, Denim or Vinyl Seat Covers, your fleet will look smart and represent your brand well, wherever they are.
What sort of material or fabric are Stallion covers made out of?
Stallion Canvas Seat Covers are made from a 12 ounce Australian heavy duty canvas. This is full commercial grade protection. The seat covers are hard wearing, water proof and protect the seats from dirt, grime, grease, liquid, wear and tear.
The 12 ounce canvas is a 525 GSM, woven from blended polyester and cotton yarn. For those that have asked for a tough, and extra tough seat cover for the toughest conditions, this is the product! An Australian coated quality canvas with super strength.
