Upholstery Fabrics: Who do you Like?

[Anthony Amman #15293]

For Bedford cord, broadcloth, wool carpet, windlace etc. would you go with SMS, Hirsch, or LeBaron-Bonney?

Wish I knew too.
I'll be shopping soon

[Otto Skorzeny]

All three of those companies will send you samples.

I've purchased from SMS before and was very satisfied with their products and service. (did not buy Bedford cloth, though)

[Anthony Amman #15293]

Thanks, Otto. 

I just received samples from SMS and liked what they provided, samples from LeBarron-Bonney as well.  I suspect that at the end of the day; all of these suppliers materials are virtually identical.

In addition to the other suppliers mentioned, it would not hurt to call Jenkin's Interiors
in North Carolina.  They supplied all of the materails for my car and I'm very satisfied.

Here is the contact info:

I have just received my order from SMS Auto Fabrics.

They sent me the exact Fabric and Vinyl for my 1957 60 Series Fleetwood.

Very happy with the service and delivery.

They are now working on a new pre-sewn headlining for me.

For me I found SMS product always excellent, however I have to disagree strongly on the quality of their service. I had a really bad experience with them, as have others on this forum [see previous postings]. To repeat myself though I can't fault the product.
