Re: Seat Fabric?

I purchased mohair for a turn of the century piece of furniture. Tried a local vendor but cost were terrible, so i looked into period correct auto vendors and used "Lebaron and Bonney". We did consider tweed and it was our second choice after mohair. Had samples sent to us and the quality was fantastic.

When the upholsterer was done he asked where we got the mohair and how much. At $30.00 per yard he wanted the vendor because he said it was the best mohair he ever worked with and the last yardage he bought was twice the cost. That was 1981!!
