ledfootslim Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 I just went to Hastings and bought a sturdy, stain resistant drape material. I love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobT-47P15 Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 (edited) Windsor.........do you have any auto upholstery shops or any upholstery wholesalers in your area? Have you checked with them? I think the Dodge may have had a small stripe in the upholstery fabric Edited February 24, 2015 by BobT-47P15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casper50 Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 the original that are still on my seat are grey with a very thin blue line running through it. I'll try for a photo tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A visit to a local trimmer shop will be well worth your while to investigate the patterns, colors and fabrics available and the average cost of each. They have plenty of swatches to look through. And should you need to also do the door panels, bolsters etc etc...matching vinyl and carpet if you desire can be matched to compliment your every fabric...often they can call a supplier for the very fabric that was factory with the vehicle...but that usually runs quite the chunk of change. Be prepared for sticker shock! Edited February 24, 2015 by Plymouthy Adams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Skinner Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 Bill Hirsch 396 Littleton Avenue Newark, New Jersey, 07103 Phone (973) 642-2404 Frank sent me samples (I had cut a small swatch of Original Fabric from under my front seat to send him) they matched it perfectly. There is another place in the magazines that I have seen also somewhere up in New England LeBarron Bonney I think they are called. These guys don't play, they will match your original correctly. Or go modern with another fabric if you don't care what fabric is original. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROB-PA Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Not Mohair......Broadcloth. (?) Since I will be recovering my interior at some point I was wondering about the comment. Is it not as durable as the broadcloth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhm1mc13 Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 If you want something close to original be prepared to pay $450 just for the material or find a good fabric store that sells drapery material and get the next best thing for $50. Here is my (blown) budget P15 for example. Jim M 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it not as durable as the broadcloth? Your factory interior was broadcloth not mohair.....people assume that every old car came with mohair.

ROB-PA Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Frank, thanks for the reply. I have the remnants of the original seat covers in t my 35 Plymouth and they were definitely broadcloth. One of the upholstery suppliers that I spoke with (don't recall which) told me that like paint, seat material could be ordered to Chrysler specs and that was why they supplied both mohair and leather options. No idea if he was correct or just blowing smoke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
