Seat covers for 75-77 buckets ?

Saw these for sale on Ebay, appears to be two tone vinyl, it says oxen vinyl insert with Madrid vinyl trim.
Looks like you have to buy the rear seat cover, package deal.
Anyone have any experience or knowlege on these ?

Both of us have seat covers that we ordered for our bucket seats. I think hooverfish is just getting tired of waiting. I understand it can be excruciating, but I’m hanging in there. I knew it would take time to get them, so I’m waiting for mine, because I know it will be worth it.

Was asking if anyone had information on the pictured seats with 2tone vinyl.

Yes frustrated, but I am going to wait. I'm getting by with the old covers in my truck.

They aren’t really two tone, it’s the two different Vinyls. They are the same color, maroon, but the grain is a little different from Madrid to Oxen.

What’s the thought on taking our seats to a local reputable upholstery shop and copying the pattern with the correct vinyl?

There’s no local reputable upholstery shops. You can barely find any upholstery shops period.

Out here on the west coast there a dime a dozen. I was making reference to the ability of someone skilled enough to look at a particular pattern and copy it with proper materials

I was going to say that in my last post That you live in California where there’s a bunch of upholstery shops. Here on the East side of the US, it’s a profession that is fading. The 2 guys that I used, when I first had my bench seat done, were older. One is retired now. But both these guys, I really wasn’t that impressed. Kind of the reason why I started doing seats myself, but more for the “Complete” Seat Restoration, since most upholstery shops don’t even touch your frame. And I almost gave up on that until I found someone that makes “Quality” covers.

I guess if someone is good, they should be able to look at an existing pattern and copy it. I have multiple sets of low backs so I can take an extra seat to the shop to have them copy it. Just wonder what’s more cost and time effective as well as getting exactly what you want
