The steamer makes the leather more pliable, helping to remove the wrinkles and pulled spots (note: sometimes the pulls/wrinkles are from a poorly measured and cut section of material). If you guys are getting the Katzkin covers, I highly recommend getting a hold of a decent garment steamer (when you're done, you'll have a great tool for your suits and shirts as a side benefit).

Would this be like a standard procedure tool at most upholstery shops?
