The guy that makes most of my covers for the seats I restore, pretty much stopped buying fabric from them. One reason they can be so expensive, is that you have to buy more fabric than what you actually need. If the fabrics or materials are the actual original materials, then a lot of times there are sections in the bolt that are no good. He has tried to use them for specific original fabrics that people wanted for their seat covers, and by the time he was able to get enough fabric, the seat cover was going to be as much as one of my complete Restored seats! And most people, once they hear what a cover from them is going to cost, they choose another less expensive fabric. Which is mainly what we do for the covers on my seats.
And with these printed vinyl seats, they dry out easily. I never liked those kind of covers originally, and I still don’t like them on the new covers. I like the fabric seat covers much better than all vinyl.
