suede seat material recommendation

[BobB66SS]

I'm looking for a recommendation on a brand of suede for my seats inserts.

About 3 years ago I had my Flofit front and stock rear seats custom upholstered that included black suede inserts using Passion suede #19 made which is apparently made by the Miami Corporation. The suede has gradually turned from black to an uniform odd shade of brownish purple.

My upholsterer hasn't seen this before. The car gets some sun exposure but not a ton and even the seam areas completely protected from light have started to change color. Nothing has ever been applied to the suede, not even water.

I'm working out the plan to have the suede portions recovered and would like to avoid going thru this again down the road so I'm hoping someone has a brand they like that has some color durability. Would prefer a synthetic to keep the costs reasonable but am open to suggestions. Would prefer to keep the suede if at all possible; feels and looks cool.

Any advice is appreciated.

That is a really nice looking Chevelle you have. Too bad about the seats. I hope someone has the right answer for you.:thumbsup:

This is the place I buy all my fabric from. Great guy and he will send you sample of whatever you want if you just email him. I have used him numerous times on my own vehicles and customers interiors. ultraseude is a great product that is what I used in the below picture 4 yrs ago and it's still the same color and I live under the Florida sun.
