Default Any Auto Upholstery Shops in the PNW That Do Good Leather Work?

I know a lot of 928 guys send their pieces to Rob Budd for leather rework, but I was wondering if anybody has had luck with any upholstery shops in the PNW region?

Here's a link to the issue (Vol 1 issue 4).
https://webfiles.uci.edu/redwards/pu...2012-22-12.pdf

The place referenced in the story is Superior Auto Trim. Google search has two locations (Bellevue and Seattle (Aurora Ave)).
Not sure which one Mark had his seats done at....
Anyone from PNW928 know?

Default Try calling Chris’ German...

They had an early 928 in there that had just been restored in Connolly leather and was crazy nice. I bet they know where the work was done

Thanks for the article. I will give Superior a call. However the article said that Superior's guy who did the seats was a "men's suite tailor who escaped from Russia". Escaped from Russia? That guy had to be very old to have needed to escape from Russia. Maybe he was in the Gulag?

I know other folks who have had some mechanical work done over at Chris's German. I'll reach out to them to see who they use. Thanks!

Nate,
I'm closely following what you discover locally in the PacNW. I too would like to have some interior work done.
