Just received the sample material in from SMS Auto Fabrics. It looks to be
an exact match to the Red material! Will post a side by side comparison ASAP. |

Did you ever get a sample of the red #47? That's the one I want.

The samples are shown below, and having seen a sample first hand, I can tell you
the work is outstanding. SMS got the material correct. The color, weight, and weave are all true to the original. This is Auto Upholstery material, that even has a coating applied to the back, just like current production. It is my expectation, that the colorfastness will be much better than the original, so those bright colors will last for a long time. Currently, SMS Auto Fabrics has the # 45 Bright Red and the # 40 Yellow . The production run of each material was 75 yards, and it takes 2 yards to do the seat inserts in one 914. While supplies last, Doug has made us a deal for $125 per yard. I called and placed my order today! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) As soon as SMS has sold most or all of the two colors in this initial run, they will work on the other colors. Based on inquiries so far, it looks like # 81 Grey, # 47 Burgundy Red, # 42 Green, # 48 Sky Blue, and # 44 Orange, are all up for consideration. Also, if the demand is strong for # 45 Bright Red and the # 40 Yellow they will do another production run. SMS will need to see a non-faded piece of your original material to get the colors correct. The larger the piece the better. Don't miss this opportunity to get a very high quality reproduction. To place your order, contact: Doug Pollock SMS Auto Fabrics 350 South Redwood St. Canby, OR 97013 (503) 263-3535 info@smsautofabrics.com #45 Bright Red  #40 Yellow |
