A new production of SO34 Westfalia upholstery

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…

  1. Did you get a sample of the yellow curtain material?

    Do you have the SO34 blue and green material? Or do you intend to make some? As I need some.

    Many thanks

  2. 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

  3. 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

    Bob
