anyone have Katzkin Interior leathers?

My Osle Blue Beck Coupe has Cognac Katzkin.  This is the best picture I have on this device.

@Lane Anderson Thanks Lane, you have plenty of pics on here I didn't know what color you chose for interior though..., I'll go looking. Thanks


you never know exactly what a color really "is" until you see it in real life





Although not Mae West, I like those cute Audrey Hepburn signal lamps. ;-)

@americanworkmule, I went with Katzkin's Tuscany Amaretto.  The car's not done yet, but here's some good "real life" pics to give you a sense.

That one took me a minute, Sam.  

Wow, these look a lot better in pics  compared to the samples from the website

not me!, that was @americanworkmule

Now you see why it took me so long.

I remember when Cadillac bumpers had what were called Dagmars.

True...   I guess it depends on which one of my Graddads (Navy or Marine) voice I hear in my head at the time.

I have spinneybeck and when I chose samples I was able to figure out what the base colour on the pantone wheel the colour was from.  My artist wife advised that would tell me if there was any base colour nuances that might come out and you can;t see in a swatch.  Ever wonder how sometimes there is a tinge of orange or blue with different light....  Just saying.

To me they all look different ,

@americanworkmule, I was living this exact conundrum 6 weeks ago. The picture is probably much lighter/paler than reality. But you really shouldn't pick your finishes, especially colors, by picture.  For the amount of money you're spending, get the samples sent to you.  Better yet, if you're able, get yourself to Bremen, if even for a day.  I did it, was able to touch and feel everything.  It makes choosing your spec so much easier.  And it's amazing fun too, to get the tour, meet the guys, all of it.  You've got many, many months - might as well immerse yourself.

Is there a reason you are going with leather vs leatherette/vinyl ?

Gotta be the rich smell of leather and the patina it gets over time!

... and the way it looks at the termination points.

I love how Carey made the engine cover look like a fitted suitcase back there. I hadn’t noticed that before.

Alante brand vinyl is so close to leather it is difficult to tell it apart from the real material but less costly . I have used it on a number of speedster builds

Yes, but is it Corinthian leather?
