OEM seat fabric source?

@SSTJ i did! I bought enough material for one seat, but I have not had anything recovered yet - im waiting to verify if i do indeed prefer my PRP seat. It is $$$ though.

I definitely prefer my PRP seat. Although less cushy, it is incredibly comfortable.

In our TJ's, fabric wasn't a good OEM choice, IMHO. The fabric will look nice for the first 5 years, after that it starts to rot and deteriorate. The vinyl will crack and water will soak through again, causing rot. Leather would have been a better option, especially for all the off roading done with the TJ's. Water and Mud will soak through the fabric and root the material from underneath.

Let me know what they say. I already have mine but maybe I can find a way to sell them and switch, especially if they do a batch with that fabric cheaper.

The pvl tan is really close to the factory vinyl leather color on my 97 jsyk.

Enduro highback recliner with the extra tall option. It kind of catches on the door but I'll eventually make a slightly shifted bracket to take care of that.

I do regret not getting the seat heater

The OE seat fabrics can be very hard to find. Check with upholstery shops they have some or have a few sources to check. We don’t have any of that cloth but do have some of the Sahara green. Miami corporation has a lot of oe fabric and show what they have in stock on there website. Another place to check is SMS auto fabrics the specialize in NOS fabrics terrible costumer service and expensive but if they have what you need.

I know this tread is old but I am looking for a small piece of the Sahara green for a patch for my driver's seat. Do you still have any on hand?

I suppose it depends upon how it is treated. Mine is 28 years old and looks great.

Took a look at the material shelf at the end of the day yesterday and couldn’t find it so I guess we must have used it.

There are two different greens. What year is your seat from?
