Houndstooth REAR bench seat ???

Wife says the interior must be upgraded in the blazer. Sounds like permission to spend money, right?

So, as I purused the LMC online catalog, I found the black & white houndstooth replacement seat fabric for my front bucket seats. So cool! But when I searched for a match for the REAR bench seat in my blazer, I could not find one. I saw the FRONT bench seat fabric in houndstooth but not the rear.

Does anyone make a REAR bench seat houndstooth replacement fabric? Or has anyone had one made? Or cut down the front kit?

Thanks for the help!

Re: Houndstooth REAR bench seat ???

OK, couldn't help but keep digging and found a 67-72 suburban thread that mentioned a few suppliers and found Athey's.

Athey's does front bucket & bench seats, as well as the REAR bench seat for blazers, IN HOUNDSTOOTH!

The front buckets are $250 for black (& white) houndstooth.
The rear bench is $265 for black (& white) houndstooth [base price was $245 with $20 upcharge for houndstooth - definitely worth it!].

Thanks for the additional link, though the Brothers seat cover is $320 while Atheys was $265. With $60 dollars I am 2/3 the way to a replacement center console. It never ends.

GMCPaul's have them...that's where I got mine. I ordered them together and they match perfectly. I believe it's the same manufacturer as brothers.
