Porsche 911 sports seats - tartan / plaid inserts

[hyperhound71]

Hello all-
I have a set of sports seats that I'm planning on getting reupholstered with cloth inserts. I have a number of samples I'm trying to choose between, and was looking for some opinions. There are 6 options:
Option 1: Brown weathered
Option 2: Porsche Red / Blue
Option 3: Irish Orange / Green / White
Option 4: Scottish Red / Green / Black
Option 5: Brown / Tan / Black
Option 6: Red / Tan / Lavender-ish

The car is an '84 M491 in RauchQuartz (Brown) metallic with Brown interior

Thanks
-JT

Yes, that is another good option. I was originally shying away from the Porsche fabrics because I didn’t want to use something that was specific to earlier models. I’m reconsidering though. Looks like everyone likes the brown
If someone has seen a more burgundy red tartan or plaid I’d love to see it

Something like a Lawson tartan. The greens would go well with the brown -sorry, bronze.

Also I wouldn't have any whites or light colors in it as it could accidently get dirty and be hard to clean.

I need to do something with my '79 sport seats. I need to research it further, but i'd like to have centres that are actually covers, that can be removed and cleaned. that way I can have a fun tartan then swap it out for black perforated leather for the dogs to scramble in out over.

That’s funny; I was looking at that exact pic earlier. Also looking at the Porsche brown with tan stripes

My suggestion for anyone considering this is to get samples, and ask for 12”x12” sample size.
It’s amazing how different the real fabric looks compared to the pictures

Pasha comes in two different flavors that I know of, the black and white, and the brown and beige, there may be others, but the brown pasha would look incredible, and you could probably get away with doing just the seat inserts and the door cards.

The tartan is more 60’s 70’s, the pasha screams 80’s, much better fit for your car.
