Whether restoring worn seating or creating a completely new interior, this range offers both traditional plain fabrics and a distinctive T6-style checked pattern.

Choose from Four Automotive Seating Fabrics

T6 Checked, SF10

The T6-style automotive seating fabric features a distinctive fine checked pattern on a black background, inspired by Volkswagen Transporter seating.

The closely woven checked design provides a finish for campervan seating, seat centre panels, rock-and-roll beds and matching door cards.

This patterned fabric is particularly suited to VW-inspired interiors and restoration projects where a traditional automotive cloth appearance is preferred.

Black, SF11

A plain black automotive seating fabric suitable for a wide range of vehicle upholstery applications.

The woven surface offers a restrained, practical appearance that works particularly well in modern vehicle interiors and with contrasting patterned seat inserts.

Black is a popular choice for seat repairs, replacement upholstery, door panels and campervan conversions.

Anthracite, SF12

Anthracite offers a dark-grey alternative to conventional black vehicle seating cloth.

Its understated woven finish makes it suitable for car interiors, van conversions and custom upholstery projects.

This colour can be combined with black trim, contrasting stitching or complementary materials to create a coordinated interior.

Light Grey, SF13

Light Grey provides a softer, lighter upholstery option for vehicle interiors.

The neutral woven fabric works well for replacement seat coverings, campervan furniture, door inserts and custom trim where a lighter finish is required.

It can also be paired with darker upholstery materials to introduce contrast into a vehicle interior.

3mm Foam Backing for Automotive Upholstery

Each fabric is laminated to approximately 3mm scrim foam, providing additional body and light cushioning beneath the woven surface.

Foam backing can help create a smoother, more upholstered appearance, particularly when working with shaped seat panels and interior trim components.

The laminated construction is useful for:

• Car seat centres and replacement seat panels
• Rock-and-roll beds and campervan seating
• Door cards and decorative inserts
• Vehicle interior side panels
• Motorhome and van-conversion upholstery
• Custom automotive trimming projects

The foam backing is not intended to replace the main cushioning within a vehicle seat. Suitable upholstery foam and seat construction should be retained beneath the finished cover.

150cm Wide, Supplied by the Metre

All four fabrics are supplied at a nominal width of 150cm, providing useful coverage for vehicle seating and interior panels.

Before ordering, measure the areas requiring upholstery and allow sufficient material for seams, wrapping, trimming and any required pattern matching.

For the T6 checked fabric, pay particular attention to the direction of the pattern. Matching the checks across adjoining panels will help produce a more professional finish.

Where several seat sections require covering, ordering sufficient material from the outset helps maintain consistency throughout the project.

Cutting, Sewing and Fitting

Accurate preparation is important when working with automotive seating fabrics.

Use sharp Upholstery Shears and Snips to achieve clean cuts through the woven face and foam backing.

For sewn seat covers, use suitable upholstery thread, needles and equipment made for the combined thickness of the material.

The Sewing Threads and Twines range provides additional supplies for professional upholstery work.

When fitting fabric to suitable rigid interior panels, select an adhesive compatible with both the material and substrate.

Always test adhesive compatibility before application and follow the manufacturer's fitting instructions.

Complete Your Vehicle Interior

For a coordinated vehicle interior, combine these seating fabrics with complementary materials from the Automotive & Headlining Fabrics collection.

The range includes VW Golf-style seating fabrics, foam-backed suede trim, perforated headlining materials and decorative automotive vinyl.

Whether carrying out a straightforward seat repair or a complete campervan conversion, choosing materials suited to each application will help achieve a consistent, professional-looking result.
