When seats are ready for new leather
These are the reasons owners bring us their seats.
- 01
Worn side bolsters
Getting in and out wears the outer bolster first: the color rubs off, the leather creases and cracks.
- 02
Cracks, tears and burns
Sun and age dry the leather out until it splits. A burn or a tear will not go away on its own.
- 03
Shiny and faded
The seat that looked rich on day one now looks tired next to the rest of the cabin.
- 04
A new look
The leather is fine, you just want a new color, quilting, perforation or a contrast stitch.
02What we do
Factory look, or your own design
Every seat is cut and sewn on its own pattern, then fitted back over the original foam and frame.
Factory pattern
The same panels, the same seams and the same stitch as from the factory, in new leather matched to your car.
Your own design
Diamond or square quilting, perforation, piping, two colors, a contrast stitch. Pick it, and we sew it.
Only the worn panels
Often only the bolster or the centre is worn. We can replace just those panels, matched to the rest.
- Always
Everything that works, keeps working
Heating, ventilation, massage and the airbag in the seat side are kept and checked before you pick the car up.

03Questions
Questions we hear most
Short, honest answers. Anything else: send a photo and ask.
How long does it take?
Usually 2 to 3 business days per seat, counted from the day after you drop off the car. A pair of front seats takes about 5 business days, all the seats about 8. Your drop-off and pickup dates go in writing once your leather is in our shop (if we order it, usually 1 to 1.5 weeks), and if we are late you pay less.
Will the seat heating, cooling and massage still work?
Yes. We keep the heating, the ventilation and the massage as they are. Ventilated seats get perforated leather in the same places, so the air still comes through.
What about the airbag in the seat?
Many seats have an airbag in the side. We sew that seam the factory way, with the right thread, so the airbag opens through it exactly as designed.
Can I change the color or the pattern?
Yes. Any color from the leather catalog, and quilting, perforation, piping or a contrast stitch if you like. You can also keep the factory look exactly.
Is this better than seat covers?
Covers slide, wrinkle and look like covers. Reupholstery replaces the leather itself, so the seat looks and feels factory. More in our article.
Can you replace just the worn part of a seat?
Often, yes. When only the side bolster or the centre is worn, we re-trim just those panels in leather matched to the rest of the seat. Send photos and we tell you within 1 hour whether that works for your seat.
Can I ship my seats from another state?
Yes. Many owners send the seats out of the car. If a seat has a side airbag, have it taken out first: an airbag holds an explosive charge and must never go in a parcel. We re-trim the seats and ship them back, insured.
How much does it cost?
From $1,850 per seat. The rear row counts as two seats, so all four seats start at $7,400. Perforation is included; a patterned perforation design adds $1,500, and each embroidery or logo is $100. Send three or four photos and we reply with your final price within 1 hour during business hours.
Dashboards, steering wheels and many seats carry an airbag with an explosive charge inside. Carriers class it as hazardous material, so have the airbag taken out before you pack the part, and keep it at your shop.
