Do you like this or the traditional factory stiching better?

Suede? Very nice....but my Cup wheel has that, but it's worn smooth at 9 and 3 after only a year on the track....

hmmm.. do you wear driving gloves at the track? which grade of suede is it? There are at least 4 grades of strenght and thicknesses that I know of right now.
BUT, there is always the RECOVER option

who me? or MR. I get to do 45 track days a year!
I'm so envious of that BTW!!! I only wish I had the funds and time to do that much track activity per year!!!!!
....in my case it is a self recover/restich job

Where do you folks get your stitching done? I have a 3 spoke that I'd like recovered in a more grippy material (different grade of leather?).
Suggestions of materials or stitchers? TIA

...nothing like waiting a month to be disappointed and then waiting another 2 months to be MORE disappointed/upset with the end result......and then doing it yourself so much better just proved that said professional wasn't all that great after all
...thinking about doing a side business on providing restiching in suede actually... had lots of inquiries already.....
