My driver seat is pretty much shot  so I think its time to replace the leather... But what type of leather is the name? I found two types of Limited type leather:
Leather graphite
Leather parchment
I don't know which one is mine.... I remeber reading something about the name graphite and parchment but I long forgot.
help please.... My seat is yelling at me to replace it.

That's the name for the colors....
parchment is the tan/brown/beige...
and graphite is the grey....
thought about going to a repair shop and getting a panel or two replaced ?
that's what I did on my Jeep Limited b4 I sold it... about $100 in 1/2 a day and it looked better than new for a LOT less than replacing it...

I didn't have to take the seat out....
went by one day, he looked at it, measured and made sure he had the stuff,
then I brought it back a few days later and boom it was done !
I wear shorts all the time and the oils from my leg did a number on the left seat bottom....

Have you contacted a couple Discount Ford Parts retailers to get pricing on replacement covers?

Yes I just ordered from Millennium Ford's Online from Washington State... http://www.discountfordpartsaty2kford.com/ priced at $243.52 and qoute for shipping was $26.79 for a total of $270.31 The cheapest place I found over the internet. I still think its a little too much for a seat cover but beats paying retail priced of 300 or so dollars 
I hope I ordered the right one...it was confuseing at first with the term "seat" on there list but I hope I ordered the right one...... I would think they would name it "bottom seat cover" or something... Not just "Seat Cover" 
"Collision Catalog - 2000 - Ford - Excursion
Seats and tracks,
............. -->Front seat components,
............................... -->Seat cover,
................................................. --> Leather parchment,
.................................................................. -->Limited Left - Captains chair
anyway I'll let everyone know how it came out.
