Is Koroseal seat material still available?

[rollfaster]

I have a couple of Postwar Schwinn seat tops i would like to recover useing this. Just like the stuff they used in the 40’s and 50’s.

I also used to mail pieces of the Original fabric I would harvest from the under side
edges of those seats (no fade) and mail them around the US to upholstery wholesalers
and never got a decent match

Is that what the material on my seat is called?

There is a company named
Koroseal

Yes, it appears there is Vince. But, is the material on my seat the same material (Koroseal) that the original poster is asking about? In other words, and exactly as asked in my previous post (#3)

My mistake, it sounded like you were an expert.

This is tolex material( same stuff used to cover amplifier cabinets). It’s very similar to this. I’ll probably be getting a couple yards of this.

I think the original material was called Fabrikoid--produced by Dupont from nitrocellulose resin applied to cotton drill. It's been out of production for decades, but I think you're right that modern Tolex could be a convincing replacement.
