Hi Scott
Im A Real Upholstery guy as well www.fanchers.com Fancher's Upholstery Inc.
And a serious VW sicko. Check out the VW Stuff section to prove it. I thought they called the fabric shred o roy.
Ive got a set of Blue Shred o roy seats in my shed on a top shelf for parts. I remember others asking for the material but had no good source at that time. I
did find this a few days ago but the customer took the book. So, Im on hold with getting this for others to see for a bit of time.
