The four we are asked for most

We work in automotive vinyl and nothing else, and we carry a good deal more than this — these are simply the four that come up most often. Every swatch is a photograph of the roll. If you have something else in mind, ask and we will tell you what is on the shelf.

Pebbled Vinyl

The everyday grain. A medium pebble that hides scuffs and fingerprints, wipes clean in one pass and holds its colour through a BC winter.

Best for
Daily drivers, rideshare

Fine-Grain Vinyl

A tighter, shallower grain with a softer hand. The closest of the four to a factory leather interior, and the one that suits light colours best.

Best for
Light interiors, show builds

Textured Vinyl

A deeper, coarser pebble with more bite to it. The most forgiving of the four on a work truck — grips you in the seat and shrugs off site grime.

Work trucks, fleet

Suede-Look Vinyl

A matte, brushed nubuck-look surface with no shine at all. Warmer to sit on than a glossy grain and the one that shows quilting most sharply.

Best for
Quilted builds, inserts

Stitching

Five patterns, seven thread colours

The quilt is what separates a cover from an interior. Every pattern is laminated to 6mm foam before it is stitched, which is what gives it depth and stops it creasing into permanent wrinkles.

Diamond quilt

The signature Bhola look.

Hex quilt

Modern, tighter cells.

Horizontal pleat

OEM sport style.

Vertical pleat

Classic tuck-and-roll.

Material questions

Answers before you book

Heavy-duty canvas duck and marine vinyl shrug off abuse better than anything else we stitch. Nappa leather ages the best of the lot but wants more care. Ask about the stitching warranty when we quote — it varies by material.

For a daily driver, often better. It resists UV fading and spills, costs roughly half as much, and needs no conditioning. Real Nappa is softer, more breathable and develops a patina — it is the better choice for a show build or a luxury cabin.

Yes, and it is one of the most popular things we do. Alcantara inserts against leather bolsters is the classic combination. Tell us which material you want where and we will quote it that way.

Neoprene, canvas and vinyl take soap and water or a hose. Leatherette wipes with a damp cloth. Nappa wants a proper leather cleaner and conditioner twice a year. Alcantara brushes with a soft nap brush.
