    Hi Garry, great work.
    Is there any chance of a run of black/white /blue in the future? I know a few of us would be all over that!

    That was the plan Chris,

    I've only commissioned 25 meters (B&W) to gauge interest mainly for the UK & US (forgot about you guys down under sorry), but in the short time I've posted 15-20 meters are spoken for already. Going forward on the next run of 50 meters it has been discussed that at 25 meters a colour change can be introduced for the remaining 25 if that makes sense.

    The project was mainly to serve my UK customers, as we all know early car owners like detail. I wasn't happy with some of the detail of material on the market especially when trimming sport recaro's, and we've seen where the cost of a pair of those has gone

    Downer is the set up costs :-(

    Hi Garry

    Another Aussie here... Any idea how many meters a pair of sport seats take? I would be keen on B&W, but would also be a possible starter on a colour...

    Cheers

    Any plans for the Black/White/Gray? Had a set of seats and Targa liner done (same supplier) in this with the intent of doing door cards and rear seats but they discontinued before I was ready to do these bits.

    Unfortunately not that colour combo at this time sorry ,

    Once the B&W is in stock and those who expressed interest are happy I'll gauge interest on a colour change halfway through the next production run going forward.

    Thanks

    I would also like to point out that my explanations of the manufacturing process, technical and phrasing detail above has been gathered from my own personal experience while dealing with the weaver I commissioned.

    The the materials I've used from other suppliers have been a very good replacement, with the one once produced by Auto Foreign Service's being spot on in every way.

    Pretty much all the first run has being spoken for in email interest, once the material is in stock I'll be in contact.

    Thanks
