Drinky Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Guys a long shot I know, my seats are with an upholsterer, they have sent me some swatches of leather, none of which appear close. Has anyone else done this and can let me know the supplier and colour code, I am going for smooth finish with little grain. cheers Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Rock Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Yes - Gary Hubbard in Loughborough did mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drinky Posted February 22, 2018 Author Share Posted February 22, 2018 Thank Dr, I have dropped him a line, clearly he doesn't have to help me out though cheers Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drinky Posted February 22, 2018 Author Share Posted February 22, 2018 He's come back to me but doesn't keep records, he says he usually asks customers to supply their own leather, I assume you didn't provide Dr? He has put me onto a company who supply leather called uk hide thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drinky Posted February 22, 2018 Author Share Posted February 22, 2018 Gary's been excellent Dr, really trying to help me out, I should have sought recommendations, however went with a friends relative, as you do. cheers Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also sent some a dashboard to Robert Budd at Classic 9 in the US (http://www.classic9leathershop.com/seat-upholstery/) who did great job for me - especially matching the finish I needed.

Drinky Posted November 1, 2018 Author Share Posted November 1, 2018 ended up repossessing my seats back and sticking them back in the car and using it a lot this summer, seeing Gary on Saturday and hopefully he will be doing them in January Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drinky Posted February 21, 2019 Author Share Posted February 21, 2019 Bases done, unfortunately a needle let go on Gary, whilst doing one of the backs, putting a hole in it, so more perforation had to be done on another piece of leather, hoping to be complete early next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
