cloth seat skins

speedjunkie · 05-02-2009, 08:53 AM

I've been planning on reupholstering my seats with skins from leatherseats.com. However, I started wondering about doing them in cloth for a couple reasons...

-ass will stay planted better than on leather
-won't be as hot in the summer or as cold in the winter

I know they won't be as easy to clean, but that's OK because I don't plan on getting them too dirty. Anyone have any suggestions or know where I can find replacement covers in cloth?

Does no one make any of these?

I guess I might have to have them reupholstered at a shop or just stick with the leather ones.

Try Katzskins, they can make up anything you would like. Alcantera, cowhide etc.

I would say try a local auto upholstery shop with a good reputation. I had mine done at a local shop a few years back and they turned out great. I just had them recovered in leather, but if they can do leather, I'm sure they could of done cloth.

Yeah that's what I figured. I guess I'll check when I get back on US soil...or I'll email Katzkin first and see if they can come up with something. Thanks guys!
