    Many folks prefer leather and vinyl coverings for auto seats. I prefer real wool fabric. Warm in cooler weather and doesn't fry your backside when entering a vehicle in hot weather. Granted cleaning is more difficult but comfort overrides that concern. I was first made aware of this by my neighbour who is a tractor trailer owner operator. He swears it is much more comfortable when seated for 10 hrs per day than any other fabric he has experienced. I had a local upholstery shop recover my pickup's bench seat five years ago and never looked back. Watching your videos makes me realize the complex techniques and long learned skill involved in your trade. You have my deepest respect. All the best to you and yours.

      @@oldschoolautoupholstery thanks for the response, I have learned a lot from the short time I have been watching. I have an 1981 Chrysler Imperial with the Mark Cross maroon leather interior. Time and the sun has taken its toll on it and the front and probably the back seats need to be reupholstered. But I think to go back with leather will be prohibitively expensive!$$$

I'll be doing both bench seats, 4 door panels, and the package tray. Simple classic black tuck-n-roll. I'm sure you know how much it would take just from experience but it would be helpful for me and maybe others to know how to do a few measurements and figure it out. Thanks

I think it's really smart that you start at the mark and sew in both directions, makes sew much sense. You have some great shears.....brand? What is your seam allowance, 1/4", 3/8"? What thread is best, 92 poly? You give great instructions, beautiful work, Sir!! THANK YOU!!

    Old School Auto Upholstery Techniques SIR, you really are impressive. I have been Bing watching your videos and your work is so very impressive. I can not believe how fast you are even with some parts of the video sped up. You have great attention to detail. My question is why do some people change the material to Vinyl? Isn't leather so much stronger? I know Vinyl is a lot cheaper but to me the strength is not the same. I know if I had to get my seats repaired and my seat upholstery was leather, that is what I would get it fixed with. What is the difference between the grained leather that domestic cars usually come with compared to the smooth and supple leather on European automotive seats? Is one stronger then the other? I own a 2016 Ford Escape Titanium with leather seats and I hate what the grained leather looks like. Thank you once again for sharing your talented work.

      Hello Mark, Thank you so much for all the kind words. I hope since your binging, that you thumbs up every video and sub! Really it comes down to how much the customer wants to spend. 90% of my customers opt for the cheaper vinyl instead of the higher cost for leather. There are many grains of leather available to choos from. Even though leather is stronger, it lasts about the same as vinyl. Thank you for watching!

    Ok. I've watched this video a few times now and the other day I started my first bottom seat cover remake for a Grand Marquis. The question that came to my mind is, "why couldn't we take the center sections of the seat bottom and instead of making each piece separate and then sewing the edges to attach them back into a larger piece, why couldn't we just sew the vinyl and foam along a pattern line to make the seat bottom look like the original? I hope this makes sense what I'm trying to describe. I know there must be a reason you did it this way, but it seems like a lot more work. What am I missing? Also, a nice video topic might be addressing the velco in the bottom of the formed seat cushions and how to address the factory serged white feather material that is designed to attached to the velcro. I had to buy some loopy strip material from the upholstery supply shop and glue it the bottom of my seamed areas so I would have something to attached to the seat foam velcro. I don't have a serger. Two last thoughts... I think your wrong sometimes... "this is rocket science or close to it" and my technique number 1 is "watch your videos" Thanks for sharing so much info.

    • @oldschoolautoupholstery
      @oldschoolautoupholstery  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hello Rob, Thanks for viewing my videos, I hope they are helpful for you. The difference between a top stitch and separate panels are a huge difference, both on function and appearance. With a top stitch, the panel will still lay flat when laid out on a surface like a table. Separate panels can be formed to shapes, such as higher seat bolsters or lower seat inserts. Also, with the separate seat panels, you can sew the fuzzy side Velcro to use as the listing. Just sayin'. Please keep liking and watching!

    Rudy, great video. 3 questions: 1.) Instead of using an air gun for the adhesive, can you use an aerosol adhesive can like 3M? 2.) I notice you don't do a back/reverse stitch when you first started sewing. Is it not necessary? 3.) Your video is titled "Changing Leather Seats To Viny", but you didn't really talk about it. I'm a beginner in upholstery and would like to know what you recommend and what to look for when it comes to using vinyl fabrics. Are there vinyl fabrics that appear and feel as good as leather?

So after you have cut a part of the old seat cover to make a pattern you bring it to a piece of vinyl and draw a white mark around that pattern onto your vinyl. Now that white trace you just made around on your vinyl do you actually sew on that white line when your ready to sew everything together?

      Hello David, Thank you so much for saying so. I was working on those cars when they were new. It's simple. The seat inserts were made with extra material. The leather was "Gathered" when sewn allowing for extra material and therefore the wrinkled look. That was a design back then and was popular in many cars. Just easily duplicate what was original. Mission accomplished. Please keep liking and watching!

      Hello Tyshon, Thank you so much for watching! I am located in East Texas. I pretty much only do local work. This keeps me very busy. Many people from the web ask for my services but I have to turn them down. It would be impossible for me to do it all. If you Google "Upholstery shop near me" You should be able to find someone in your area. I appreciate you checking with me.
