Pork Chops Posted 29April, 2017 Report Share Posted 29April, 2017 Where does one go to get this? I've found plenty of places that sell tartans but don't want to fall in love with a design and find out it's not made in an appropriate format for car seats. While we're on what topic what is appropriate for car seats as far as fabric is concerned. Anyone got a technical spec?Many thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pork Chops Posted 29April, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 29April, 2017 From here, they say the following...We do love the random nature of our work and today we have been helping a customer choose which tartan fabric to use to re-cover the seats of his Porsche! This is not the first time we have supplied tartan fabric to upholster car seats and the Porsche is certainly the most common request, but we have also supplied fabric for Mini Cooper, VW camper van interior deco and long distance lorry driver’s curtains. We recommend the polyviscose tartan fabric as it is hard wearing and washable. Just in case your Porsche needs a makeover!

Some interesting patterns there. Funnily enough some stuff very similar to what I was looking at yesterday, but coming from a perspective of pixelated, geometric, camouflage designs! Thanks.

Hey Nick, im currently looking at redoing my seats and have the same question about the fabric, eg. what’s polyviscose feel like, is pure wool too fleecy, too soft, too hard, etc... a mate of mine has a GTI and the tartan seats feel like canvas... yuk! Is that polyviscose? Anyway was wondering where you ended up with this thread, did you work out what’s the most suitable fabric type for a car seat? In terms of theme, I’m loving the classic houndstooth but.... leaning towards a bit more bling... with some tartan. phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aintgotitmusthaveit Posted 29May, 2019 Report Share Posted 29May, 2019 I bought official German dress Mackenzie beige from lakewell in Belgium. http://www.lakewell.com/ Turns out my car may not have had this tartan. I have 2m2 which is enough for two seats. Cost me close to 600$ delivered if not needed it will be up for sale by the end of the month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merv Posted 15November, 2019 Report Share Posted 15November, 2019 I bought Scottish red/black/white peptia from a supplier in Scotland in pure wool for my '68. Outstanding product. I added Scotchgard also but it held up very well. I am not sure what original Porsche Tartan was woven from but it stood up well (1977-2019).
