Seat fabric help

Guys I am trying to identify these seats. I believe they are '85 IROC but just looking for more information. I dont believe they are related to Lear Siegler. I am almost positive they come in more colors than just red and grey. Back in the day I think I remember a specific thirdgen with blue striping on a black seat, in a red car. Sounds crazy but it looked really good. I was wondering if anyone knew about this or where I could get my hands on the fabric. I think the S10 Blazers of this era did something similar as well. The faded striping design was also used in the logos of both the Camaro and the Blazer.

That was the cloth seating option for the standard (non Custom Cloth) 1985 Camaro. It is not the same fabric or pattern as what was used in the S10/Blazers. Those seats were available in red, gray, black, tan and I *think* the uncommon russet color as well.

Right i knew it wasnt the same, i meant similar. Thanks for the response. Was 85 the only year? Is there a repro. fabric available? Or even Lear Siegler without the Camaro lettering?

Yep, '85 only. I'm not aware of any reproduction fabric, but I really haven't looked either. SMS Auto Fabrics may have original fabric still.

If you like patterns then I think you can do a lot better. Maybe browse lethalinteriors.com for ideas. That lady does good work and is very familiar with our cars.

Re: Seat fabric help

Princess at Lethal Interiors will tell you that you will pay $$$$$$$$$ for the original fabric... if she can get it....

I had the black version of that pattern in my 85.... i gave up trying to replace it... it seems almost ANY seat replacement in third gens will be non original unless you have a few thousand dollars to spend on original material.

I had Princess do some nice leather replacement covers for my 92.... love her work... got a color and texture that are fairly close to the original... but there is a difference....

I am trying to preserve the material in my 88 for the same reason... she told me to try to save what i could since original material will break the bank....

Re: Seat fabric help

A nice set of seats will make the interior look upscale on any car. It's the #1 thing you can do to class up the joint. Choose wisely young Jedi.
