(OT) Leather Upholstery

message from John on 17 May 2004
I need a couple of replacement leather cushions for a Chesterfield settee.
Any ideas about sources for having a couple made?

Do it yourself?

Leather stockholders have every grade of lether you can think of, in a
frightening range of colours.

Sounds like a job for kitcar TIM. :-)

I had a firm from our local free newspaper give me
a quote for a similar job. I also enquired about the
cost of leather from a firm in Yellow Pages.
The local firm did the job cheaper than the supplier
wanted for the leather alone. Worth a phone call?

What do these places tend to get called? I'd like a couple of panels
replaced on the old Rover - the leather has split.

Upholsterers.

I can recommend two places in Bedford and one in Shefford, if anyone's
interested.

Not Thomas Lloyd, by any chance? I'm told their replacements are v
expensive.

The suite was made by a small local supplier - alas no longer in business.
The suite is good - but the cushions have suffered.
