I bought one from Cartouche, it included the burlap, padding and everything else needed. (Not sure I spelled “Cartouche” correctly.)

If you want to do the new upholstery from scratch, depending on your sewing experience and the sewing machine you have, Sailrite.com has some nice material available. They have something called ultasuede which is a soft synthetic suede like material.

Most kit makers do supply the needed materials along with the pre-sewn coverings and such. The materials will likely differ from original but are considered to be the closest available substitute.

Check out the Classtique Upholstery web site for a reference on what is supplied. You may have to have a favored tool or other items for convenience of installation in your own stash but they list pretty much everything that would be needed. In other words, if you need to make a small change or use a staple gun then things like that would not be supplied.

I am almost finished installing a kit from Classtique. Very pleased. Everything I needed came in the kit. Mike is very easy to deal with.
