Original Specification Patterns

All our seat patterns were reverse engineered from original specification trim rather than after market replica. This gives us the confidence to know that we supply seat kits that fit to original seat frames and foams.

Original Weld Tooling

We use our on-site High Frequency Welder to add original specification weld patterns to vinyl cushions and backrests across our Austin Healey and Triumph TR seat kits. We can also replicate the original ‘perforated’ leather that was originally seen across some Jaguar models – we call this finish ‘Perforated Embossed.’

Extensive colour choice

We offer a wide variety of colour choice across our vinyl and leather materials. This gives our customers the flexibility of colour shading within original colour specification parameters. We have also dedicated much time to ensuring good colour matches between our leather and vinyl materials across same colour shades to allow for the choice to use these two materials together within the same kit (which would have been original for most cars in the Jaguar range).

Genuine Pleats

We use a slit foam method to create tuck-and-roll pleats across our seat cushions and backrests. Unlike imitation pleating (made simply from stitch lines across a length of material), our technique gives beautiful depth and definition to our seats, creating a pleated structure that will endure for years to come.

Engineered Piping

We have worked with our suppliers to develop an engineered pre-slit and part-glued piping for use across our seat kits. The construction of this piping gives a quality finish to our cushions and backrests as the piping core has room to ‘move’ within the leathercloth surround, allowing it to shape to the curvature of the seats whilst giving a firm structure to the seat outline.

Our engineered piping is made from leathercloth which is an ideal material for piping as its lack of stretch ensures it maintains its shape. Its surface finish is also very difficult to catch and snag, making it resilient to wear and tear.

You can view all colours available in our leathercloth piping range here.

Although we would always recommend leathercloth piping, we can make vinyl piping to order if there is no suitable colour match for your seat material in our leathercloth piping range.
