1968 Comfortweave

There is no correct reproduction comfortweave. That leaves you with two options, try to save or repair the originals. Option 2 is to buy some NOS comfotweave from SMS auto fabrics and have it sewn into the correct seat covers.

Tell us what is wrong with your seats

 

So, no repairs....

The NOS material option is going to be somewhat expensive. I would guess $400 for material and about the same to have the covers sewn.

TMI will sew the covers for you, if you decide to go that way

 

Ah? Got me...they make the reproduction seat covers, so they have the patterns and skills. I have done this and they look very nice.


If your going to do this email me and I will give you some contacts

There is a reproduction comfortweave, but its not very good looking. No weave

 

The comfortweave sections are a pressed vinyl

 

On a somewhat related topic:Anyone know the best "preservant"(ie spray protectant or whatever }to keep the original comfortweave(for a 67)supple???I had my drivers seat reupholstered with repro stuff but still have the original insert stored in my garage and dont want it to deteriorate ....Any help appreciated...BtW..you are absolutely right about the Ford licensed "ford original" repo stuff...it is NOT woven like the original...However it does look a lot better than most of the complete(non custom )repro covers..For whatever reason most of those look too grey in my opinion.......my 2 cents.Trent

 

TMI can tell you. I've had this done several times and they come out great

The regular TMI 'comfortweave' is an embossed pattern simulating the look of the woven vinyl. I doesn't breathe, of course, but at a glance it doesn't look half bad.
