That's an impressive material. Chevy must have charged a premium for that option.
Just curious how long SMS quoted you on the turnaround.
They've been known to take as much as 2 years to finish an order.

This is NOS material and SMS recently bought out and integrated a couple of other vendors material inventories so I have no idea what colors they have or what quantities they have however I am picking up a few different colors for complete cars while it is available. Bright blue (I want to do a 69 or 70 vette with Bright Blue comfortweave and Red Comfortweave for a Camaro along with black for a Camaro & my vette.)

I got samples of the comfortweave to approve first, (real and woven) now they are sending samples of the vinyl and the beading/welting for approval before I agree to let them do the seats.

That's a good question as I am not waiting 2 years...
I have someone who can sew covers VERY WELL so I can get it done.

The actual fabric is 54" wide and is $170 per running yard. SMS says 3 yards. We are buying an additional 3 yards to keep with the car in-case something happens.
