Levi Seat Restoration

[CJeff7]

In the process of restoring my '78 CJ7 Renegade Levi (Edition) Edition. Had my seats reupholstered with some original Levi (Edition) material I bought years ago and the tags from two pairs of 70's blue jeans I bought at a thrift store about 15 years ago. What do you think?

Thank you. Here's another pic

Outstanding!
I would suggest you use some form of spray on UV protection on those seats.

Great find, best of luck with your restoration.

You know, that is a great idea! I was going to keep seat covers on them most of the time, but a spray of some kind would help protect them Im sure. Do you have any suggestions? I remember in 1977 on my CJ5 Golden Eagle I sprayed Scotchguard on them and they really repelled water.

Thank you, Torxhead!

I have been very pleased with this.

Thank you, Lumpy Grits. That looks like great stuff and just what I need! I would assume it would work on a denim vinyl material like those seats. I'm going to get some.

I have used it for years here in the Mojave. Spray on till the item looks very 'wet'. Let sit overnight where there's good air movement.

So where in Texas are you?

Those look awesome! Too bad the material is not still around.

I'd be trying to find someone who could put windows in that soft top.

WOW that's a beauty and probable close on the money. Sure is a shame we can't get some company to produce that fabric.What little that was out there seems to be gone. Oh well I will keep wishing.I have all the buttons for front and back seats so maybe some day. mike
