Leather, Leather-ette, & Cloth

Back

Matching Leather, leather-ette, and cloth is available to complete your interior.

   1.  Leather-ette and Cloth is 54 inches wide and sold by the running yard, meaning they are connected. 1 yard is 54” X 36”, 2 yards is 54” X 72”, 3 yards is 54” X 108”, etc. Each yard contains 13 and ˝ square feet. The price of vinyl or cloth is $21 per running yard, or about $1.50 per square foot ($28 per yard for German imported leather-ette). These are synthetic manufactured products so the quality is consistent and free of flaws.

 Because leather-ette is less expensive I recommend using it on large parts like dashboards and door panels.
 
Leather is best used for “contact points”; places the occupants are in contact with the interior; like the seats, armrests, console lids, etc.
 

   2. Leather is sold by the square foot. Leather is not a nice rectangle; it is shaped like a cow. Being a natural product leather hides contain flaws like brand marks, bee stings, and bullet holes. You send MrMike paper patterns of what you need and he will cut these pieces for you from a seat matching leather hide. Leather is priced  at $10 sq. ft. for cut pieces. Measurements are converted from square inches to square feet, such as: a 9 X 17 inch cut piece is 153 square inches or 1.06 square feet or $10.60. These cut pieces are free of flaws.
