Title: Leather.
Post by: Upholstery Clinic on December 04, 2013, 06:21:02 am
I have a country club that has asked for a quote on doing 32 leather captain's chairs.  They picked a specific leather off a furniture leather line sold by Coast to Coast Leather.  Of course after calling them I am informed that it has been discontinued for a year or so, as an aside I would love to ask them why is it still showing on your web site after all this time, but I digress.  The country club is being very particular about the color because they have leather cushioned booths in the same area and are trying to match it.  What leather suppliers do you use other then Coast to Coast and Garrett?  Over the years most of my leather experience has been with automotive, hence my working with Coast to Coast, so I need some other suppliers that I hope I can find something close to the discontinued leather my customer is looking for.  Thanks for any help you can give.

You could always have leather dyed to match. There are many services that do it.

Thanks Johann.

MinUph.  This has a pretty distinct print to it and they will be very particular.  But I am leaving this as a last resort due to the cost involved.
