Hot Rods leather seats

I keep hearing how much it costs for leather seats but according to this article, they should be real cheap.

Interesting read. Thanks for the link.

 

We paid extra for leather furniture years ago that have brands showing! Had leather in the Zipper and switched to Naugahyde because it weathers better.

 

The article only quoted wholesalers. Lower wholesale prices don't always mean lower retail prices, especially when retailers are sitting on stock purchased at earlier, higher prices. They could 'prime the pump' by donating to upholstery classes, charity builds, etc.
I know one broke rodder taking donations...

 

Only Moriarty is Moriarty Mexican blankets for the rest of us.

 

I did a full leather interior in the model A that I built. Don't regret it one bit. You have to take into consideration all the post processing. The softening and the dying and the conditioning.
