I dont understand the problem?
Contact the seller and tell them that they sent the wrong fabric.

Yep, wrong stuff. I've heard good things about SMS so far, so just tell them what's up. If they give you any trouble, remind them a whole site full of potential customers is watching.

Re: 64-65 Deluxe seat material

I had the same challenge with SMS on the same material you purchased. It took them a couple of tries to get it right. This to me a couple of months ago. They will make it right

Re: 64-65 Deluxe seat material

I had them send me a free sample and it was that same material they sent you. Needless to say, I didn't order more material from them. But let us know if they manage to provide something closer to the OE seat cover.

Re: 64-65 Deluxe seat material

I had the same experience as Dracko. They sent me several, but none were close enough to OE to be worth the money. All were cloth, not the nylon-type stuff the OE fabric was.

Re: 64-65 Deluxe seat material

Here's a closer shot of our NOS material. The sample from SMS looks pretty close; maybe has a little bit courser thread but we're zoomed in on it really close which would really magnify any differences. The difference may not be noticeable looking at it from a couple feet away?
