SC upholstery recommendation
Hey group, I’m looking at updating the front seat vinyl and pads for my 81 SC. I have the beige color (code 35). I got swatches from GAHH (https://gahh.com) and World Upholstery (https://www.worlduph.com) but nothing comes very close to the original.
Has anyone redone their Beige vinyl seat covers with a good match? If so, where? If I can’t find a good match I think I’ll just update the pads. The vinyl isn’t terrible but I figured while I had it off to do the pads, might as well. Thanks! Pic of the seats attached for reference.

I think a good upholstery person could work wonders with those seats without replacing anything. Products applied, and what's that thing they do with aging movie stars, they kind of pull it back and tighten it up a bit.

I’d do a search for for “leather restoration,” “leatherique,” etc. and rehab what you have. You may be very surprised as to how it turns out. This can buy you some time until finding the leather you want. I’d also reach out to Tony at Autobahn for the leather.

Those look like leather not vinyl.

Are you more worried about the condition of the leather or the foam underneath?
And yeah those look leather.

I you are looking to replace the leather, you should look at Relicate, they have a large assortment of colors and types of leather available. I bought Nappa leather from them when I updated/changed my interior. They were fantastic to work with, no issues, no drama, no damaged leather, etc.
