McRic Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 I am looking into buying leather hides for my re-trim. Can anyone tell me on average the square footage I would need to trim front seats, rear bench and the door card inserts Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twisted Tenderness Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 you do get alot of waste as the hides arent square, if anything they look like a big butterfly when laid out, or was i just smoking something that night!.. The trimmer if hes a good one will only use the best bits of leather. And if the cow had a lot of scars then they show up in the leather so youve got to find places where its not going to show up.
