  View original topic: Houndstooth - Available? (yes, I searched)

Okay, I know the Houndstooth equipped Beetle's were rare, and I've searched the archive to see that as of 2007 there wasn't any repo or aftermarket houndstooth available...

But I must ask, does anyone know if this has changed?

I'd love to put original matching houndstooth back into my '75 Canadian model.

I'm sure you could find some houndstooth apoulstry fabric and have someone custom make you a set. It might be pricey though.

If anyone has it, most likely it will be Sewfine

Read the '74 thread, but I'll be honest it's been years since I've been in my '75.

The photo above is from my Dad, who pulled it out of storage on the east coast to prepare it for shipping to the west (where I now live). I'll know which of the two fabrics it is once it gets here. Is one available, and the other not?

Based on Sewfine's catalogs they don't seem to have it (but I haven't called either).
