Title: 69 Comfortweave Upholstery
Post by: 69RALLYSPORTZ28 on April 07, 2020, 03:08:51 AM
I read that the equipment used to produce the GM Comfortweave upholstery was destroyed in the 1995 earthquake in Kyoto, Japan.
Has anyone found a source for an exact match to the GM Comfortweave or a source with inventory from before the earthquake?
Has anyone compared their original Comfortweave to upholstery from Rick's Camaro?
The website says " The comfortweave pattern on these seat covers is as close to original as can be made".

From what I've read/heard from others looking for 'comfortweave' reproduction seat covers, the material they sell today is 'stamped' to 'appear' close to the comfortweave look, but does not 'breathe' ... it's flat vinyl with a pattern stamped/heated into it...

The original 'comfortweave' was just that ...  woven.. and it 'breathed'... thus it was comfortable...

You can buy NOS comfortweave material from SMS fabrics in Oregon. I believe it is $175/yard
I just had a set of seatcovers made by SMS from Original NOS comfortweave.
The reproduction covers were $450 and were available immediately.
The SMS covers sewn from original material were $1300 -$1400 and it took 6 months to get them.
