Wool Fabric, Upholstry Options

[nickp997]

Just an FYI

I'm reupholstering my seats in the Porsche Orange & Black plaid and bought my material from SMS Auto Fabrics ( www.smsautofabrics.com ) They claim to have the worlds largest inventory of original fabric and vinyl. I received samples from AA and SMS and both seem to be the real deal. AA is $129.50 a yard and SMS is $89. My guess is AA buys from SMS and resells. Give them a call if you dont see what your looking for. They dont display their entire selection

On another note I visited a Hispanic upholstery shop in Houston. The owner gave me a quick lesson in vinyl. He laid out 5-identical vinyl swatches and asked me to try and rip them by hand. Three pieces ripped like paper, one took a bit of effort and the last was impossible to tear by hand. He told me to be careful when buying online. Needless to say I'm letting him supply my vinyl

Yes this is the company I used to make these. They are in my home town, and about 35 min away.
But they have many wool fabrics, these retail at $125. Which is about what I sell for, They are a wholesale source for many different vehicles, mostly domestic. They are not easy to deal with unless you walk in the door.

I had to commit to 120 yards of material to get the pattern made. So, yes you can deal with them or me, hopefully you need more. like the matched vinyl bolster and sides, or sewn together in a kit, or something else I can include to make it a better deal from me. But either way the price I paid was more than the $89 you quoted. Pretty sure they quoted another pattern, or grade.
