Leather vs vinyl

Post by Mheiron »

You guys may have heard but SMS auto fabrics is having their first ever sale at 19% off.

It’s got me thinking I might pull the trigger on the new interior for my 63 project car. Wish I could save the original stuff but it’s just a little to far gone. The original leather is like what you’d see on a horse saddle. Very thick.

The car is coded 84 or leather pearl beige interior.

There’s a $1000 price difference between leather and vinyl. Is it worth it?

My 61 has vinyl and I heard just a few days ago that the “leather” in that car looked great.

Anyone know any great restorers of leather seats?

Thanks for any input.

Hope y’all stay safe and healthy.
