Abstract
A cover for the steering wheel of a motor vehicle, a motor boat or another conveyance has an annular body of leather or the like with an annular slot. The marginal portions of the annular body along the slot are doubled so that they comprise inner and outer layers which are integral with one another adjacent the slot and are secured to each other by one or more rows of stitches. Rows of relatively long stitches are provided in regions where the overlapping layers of the marginal portions are integral with each other, and a lace is used to connect the long stitches on one marginal portion with the long stitches on the other marginal portion. The lace can be caused to assume an undulate shape, particularly a zig-zag formation, and can be tightened as strongly as desired to narrow the slot or to reduce the width of the slot to zero.
