mercer09 Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 making upholstery kits seems to be a labor intensive business that few want to venture into or are capable of. As Trim said, only going to get worse. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has that dried up? Apparently - or so I have been told (certainly all Wools of all varieties and colors are no longer stocked per website) - I have not called to see the reason why.

SMS has the correct material at a price that doesn’t make sense for my car. I will keep looking for close alternatives and use the my local craft store material if I don’t find anything useful. Thanks I hate to say this, though just buy the proper fabric at the sky high price and never look back at doing so (or at least just mumble about price).

trimacar Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 A major woolen mill in Pennsylvania closed a year ago, we're now feeling the shortages as stocks run out and can't be replenished..... https://sgbonline.com/woolrich-closing-woolen-mill-in-woolrich/.

Restorer32 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Bill Hirsch was a hobbyist as well as a business man and I wonder with his passing if the company still has that passion. Lots easier ways to make a living than catering to the antique car hobby crowd. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Restorer32 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Very true Ed. I voiced the same to my Son before he took over the business. Happily he does have the passion, having grown up in the hobby/business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
