Alan, The greener sample in the photo is the original, not the blueish one. I must say that having seen the new sample from America the material they use is the same as original and of excellent quality and the patern is spot on. If they can tint the colour like they say they can, we are onto a perfect match. At last some proper stuff. Nick.
Bizarre. I recall the interior as blue. Memory is playing tricks again. Then again it shows the benefit of having an original sample to hand. So many of these trimming materials are actually far more complex patterns when you look at them analytically. Don't get into Tartan! I still recall Ari in Oxford trying to buy Tartan material from a guy selling 'Doodlebags' - Bagpipes to us. Be handy if you can get hold of or borrow a pantone swatch book so as to fix the colours for communications as well as having a sample. Should remove any arguments from buyers and manufacturers. Wonder what it would look like in a Schmitt?
