does anybody have experience of "CLASSIQUE UPHOLSTERY" in Lindstrom , MN, if they are doing god jobs on Model T upholstery? I am in the process of ordering a complete set of upholstery and 2-man top for my restoration of a 1919 touring T.
Thanks

Re: upholstery makers
Classtique is excellent. I sent them the original leather upholstery off my 1912 Flanders 20 and they used it for patterns to make a new seat cover kit. It installed easily and came out great. They provided plenty of extra cotton padding to help fill out the diamonds.
I also used their one-man roadster top kit on my 1924, again it fit well and came with plenty of extra material to give room to make adjustments. They also made custom side curtains for me with extra large clear vinyl panels using some dimensioned sketches I sent them.
Very happy with their products!

Re: upholstery makers
Ditto to CudaMan. Can't hurt to hear positive comments from more than one source! And where in the world is Eskilstuna?

Re: upholstery makers
I used their seat and top kits. The workmanship is generally very good and they are great about calling them with questions but the instructions for the procedures are incomplete. They had a couple of videos and they were also poor. They could really use someone to do professional quality shot and edited videos and photo illustrated step by step instructions. They told me people always do a better job on the second car they do. I only have one car. I did fine with the seat bottom on my 23 runabout, not so good with the seat back and ended up getting a second back and taking it to a professional upholstery place who said parts were not sewn accurately. Did the top with the help if another T friend. We did a pretty good job but it has some slight puckering and wrinkles. Was wondering the other day if I could open a couple of seams to pull in some wrinkles and then hand sew it together again.
