I hope all BBT Blog readers are as interested as I am in production processes,
I was very happy I could see part of the weaving of a new production upholstery material for SO34 Westfalia. I’m even more happy I can share these pictures with you, its pretty impressive,
For those who don’t know, we let weave the 4 styles early Westfalia fabrics in a period correct way to create same feel, style and looks like back in the day. No compromise!
We’re still looking for a decent sample of early Westfalia curtains, (the yellow one with that special ribble in it) (NOS or as close as we can get) to make a perfect reproduction in period materials and weaving Technics as well.
Enjoy the pictures, and look for the end result!
coloring teh materials is a process on its own…
this is pure experience, not for the faint at hearted!
first weaving process finished
ready to start to real production now….
in the second and final step the square treats are weaved in , the material is coming from above, imagine this goes ate a relatively high speed!
all information about the weaving process, inquiries, or information about our Westfalia fabrics can be get on Bob@BBT4VW.com

WOW . that is immpressive. can you have them make vanagon fabric ? there are many retailers here in the US that would supply it and sell it easily.LMK thanks ,Lucas
Hi Lucas
as far as I know the guys I use do make just any type of Fabric, but they do need good samples, but as price is high for every meter it will be very hard to distribute over a network… as every middleman adds up the price as we all know… so if You like to invest and sell that would be cool, I can produce, no problem…
always at your service
