Burgundy seat upholstery
 
Looking for a good source to recover my burgundy colored seats..I had Autoberry send a swatch but it was not on the brown side. When holding next to my seats like are have a purplish tint.. Any suggestions would be great
85, 911, standard seats, leather insert.
Thanks
Len

I have a set of sport seats I am going to recover and thinking about this place. Pricey but looks to be very authentic and high quality.

I ordered some samples from different places. We will see who matches the closest.

Ok I have an Oh S#@t moment..I wanted to see how the seats would look and noticed the seat belts mounting piece is not on the seat rails from the 83 sport seats..and the mounting holes are a little different..I know it can be done but what do I need to install the seat belts.. or do I need different seat brackets...HELP.
The seats are getting covered on Friday

UPDATE.... not good...well the foam from flatsixproject is amazing the upholstery from World upholstery not so good. The bolsters are made 1/2" to big and they forgot to stitch the bottom seams on both seats. My upholstery guy had to take the seams apart and is re-sewing the seams...here is a pick before he took them apart ...he did say the leather is a nice quality..

Seats are covered but had some issues. The covers were to big for the new foam. The upholstery guy took them and trimmed to fit. This is how they are now..he said the wrinkles will work out over time as the leather settles in..what's your thoughts..he doesn't like to use steam ..will steam tighten the leather that much . I'm am worried and a little disappointed.
