I know we talked about it at the time, but it just occurred to me that with computerized looms, it's possible to make small runs of custom fabric: https://www.weft.design/
(I wonder how much it would cost for a run of pascha!)

I'm with you Shawn.
The original black white script that was used in the early 80s is NLA, and the existing fabric was not quite usable due to wear and age. At some point Porsche shifted to the much more subtle black/black (and tan/tan, red/red etc) script...and the black/ black is currently available. This is a compromise I was forced to make....for now. Dale has carefully "engineered" the seats to be pulled apart and have the script sections replaced (without starting over on the entire seat) should I find the correct material.
Moving ahead with the seats now was an intentional calculation that will be apparent very soon...but the hunt is on for one more 40 year old unobtanium porsche product!

Well after seeing so many threads recently of folks recovering their seats and accepting things like wrinkled side bolsters and ill fitting seat cushions, this goes to show that yes, there are people out there who really do know how to recover a 928 seat, and no, the excess wrinkled material isn't there so it can "shrink" to fit properly later. This is how it is supposed to be, from the get go and there is no excuse to not have it look this way. Great looking seats.
