Highlander material source - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Been searching quite a bit for some blue plaid cloth. Only found one source @ $150 per yard. Any others out there? TIA

I believe SMS is the only game in town. I know they buy a lot of upholstery shop old stock. The Highlander fabric they sell is manufactured just for them. So if it was available elsewhere they wouldn't be having it manufactured. Part of the cost may be due to GM wanting their cut.
The SMS material is not cheap but it is heavy duty material. I know this for sure as I just got my seats back from the upholstery shop and there was some spare material leftover.

Thank you for the response. SMS is what I found as well. Ordered a couple of yards yesterday, out of stock and hoping to receive by first of next year. Such is things these day people seem to want?
