It has taken months to get this out of production but we have taken delivery of the first roll of Soft Green material for 1955-58 PGSG Buses. This stuff is dead on correct. The color & grain are amazing. In the pics you can see a middle seat flat back flipper with original material still on it.

Matt is currently in process of making a couple of seat cover sets so they can be offered for sale.

This is great news. I need a full set. Will the price be about the same as the other seat covers you're selling? Any idea when they will be available?

Do to very difficult & low production of the material we are not offering material by the yard. Only manufactured covers at this time.

They will not be the same price as the commercial covers as there is a lot more labor & material involved in doing the pleats. Text me for pricing. The first roll of material is only going to make 5-6 sets of seat covers & those are almost sold out.

I have used the piping Matt offers before and feel it's a very nice match to the original. It's solid piping, and dark green.

I saw the green fabric they are now using at the Portland show last September and it's a really nice fabric. You will not find anything better. It was custom made to match the original.

It has a nice weight, doesn't stretch very much, and the color and grain pattern look very nice.

This green material is much nicer than the brown material everyone is using for the '55-'58 deluxes.

I've got a NOS 55-58 deluxe front cover if you like to meet at a coming OCTO for comparison.
