Seat Upholstery

[cascade-classics]

What is the consensus for the supplier that has the best 67 Deluxe seat upholstery?   I know some use a comfortweave material that does not match the originals.  Thanks.

I dont think there are any pre-made covers that use the correct comfortweave. You will have to source the material and have covers made for the correct look

can someone post pix of current tmi comfort weave vs original?

I just had my seats done recently and to the correct comfort weave they had to be custom made.  They are parchment so I wanted to make sure to have the correct color, printing on the vinyl and comfort weave.  He said the material was from the original supplier not sure how correct that is but they turned out great except for the piping in the center needed to be a little smaller as was the oem but I didn't want to have him redo it.  The company was Futureline in Exton Pa 610 363 7977.

Here is a picture of the seats (i hope )

The color looks off.  I can't see the weave texture.

   P.S. Be sure to replace the foam cores when you do the seats. It makes a HUGE difference in how the seats look when the are covered. A picture of my interior.

Keith,  Do you have the "marble" printing that was on the vinyl like the factory?

[1967 eight barrel]

No, because my vehicle isn't parchment, It's white. However, that pattern seems very pronounced to me.

Got it,  I was wow, that's a lot lighter than mine.  I still wonder if mine's still a little dark but it's lighter than the picture portrays.  Parchment Ugg.

I have an early car. I went crazy trying to figure it out. Turns out to be '66 white. It didn't have comfort weave. As for Parchment, I don't think we've found anyone with the exact match color wise.  Not one manufacturer makes all the parchment parts, so you wind up with a collage if you don't dye/paint parts.

That's so right on.  I'm painting and dying everything to match the upholstery.  The only thing that will still me a little off will be the headliner but I found one that is pretty close, but I might even have it custom made if I don't like how it matches up to the pillar pads.

Tony, you can dye the headliner as well. I did mine with SEM and it truly looks like it was manufactured the color I dyed it.

Keith, is your material from TMI?

Did you do your own unpholstery too?

Most of the repops are off (black ones look grayish)..Best is for a good upholstery guy build you covers from scratch with the reproduction comfortweave material that you buy by the yard..This will look the closest however I believe this material actually has the pattern stamped not woven like the original..I am pretty sure that if you want it perfect you need to find original covers.That could be tough....
