Anybody come across this in your supplier list. I have to match vinyls for seat repair and this stuff is thick and grey. All of it is OEM, the seats have never been done.

When it comes to seat repairs your pretty much limited the option you find that matches closest. You almost never will find a perfect match unless you find the OEM fabric. But that can be expensive and still isn't guaranteed to be a perfect match because the old fabric will be faded.

@John,

That's a good marketing strategy, new material, new design and current technology in fabrics the seat may last longer than just a repair. The requests have been leather of course . I say that because I have not sewn leather and the cost is just too much.

Hard to get the orgional dye lot as well, may have to start from scratch on that one.

yup the dye lot is a problem too.
Leather seat repairs are hard do because usually the smallest you can buy 1/2 hide. Its way more than you need.
