Uphosterer

I am looking for new seat covers - mid height buckets form the 70's. Local shop is closed so I am hoping a place already has the patterns and can make me new ones - with me picking the design.

Anyone have any leads? I have a request in at Rick's for my 67 Suburban with no response so looking elsewhere currently.

Someone has to still be making these and shipping out..... Someone?

Re: Uphosterer

But I am thinking they won't have any plaid, etc. Just regular vinyl. This build needs plaid

Have you had any experience with them doing plaid possibly?

Re: Uphosterer

SMS materials has plenty of original 70's plaids... Now just to see if USA-1 can build a seat cover out of it for ya...

Tried calling USA-1 earlier and they were closed for the day. Gonna be a Monday thing.

I contacted SMS last week for samples and hope they are able to send them

Thanks for all the help folks!

They might be able to make them using plaid from SEM, if it’s still available. But from what they have told me, it would be a lot more expensive. SEM fabrics are PRICEY!
