Agreed, I'd also have them recovered professionally. It will run about $500 or less to get the full set done. I'd also use marine vinyl. I've had good luck with it in the past. It seams to hold its luster and feel longer. I had the front side of my old porche seats covered with color matched vinyl and I couldn't even tell the difference between it and the leather. When my dad had his leather seats recovered with color matched vinyl he had the guy stitch ford into the seats about shoulder height. It looks really good. It also holds up well.

Good luck on your project. Oh and btw, pull your back seat and passenger seat for drop off. Then drop off the car for just your drivers seat and install. This way your out only one day and not two for recovering the seats.
