Porsche "Pepita" (Houndstooth) fabric
In my journey for Porsche trimming perfection I have had a run of “Pepita” (hound’s-tooth) material re-woven in black & white by a Scottish weaver in the UK. Having used most suppliers of hound’s-tooth over time for trimming I’ve found one of the best precise pattern and weave was that once produced by Auto Foreign Services.
The process started with an original piece of seat material sent to the weavers for complete breakdown to determine the type and composite thread (merino wool/nylon), pattern, colour and repeat used by the original manufacture for Porsche. After some weeks an exact reproduction in every detail has been produced.
In addition the material has undergone a “rub test”, this a wear test used for upholstery testing, the result was an outcome of 45,000 plus :)
Material will arrive with me in the next four weeks and I've only commissioned a limited production run to gauge interest.
A pair of comfort seats will require two meters of fabric along with most other seat applications
Cost is £91 per meter plus shipping
