Maybe.... All I'm saying is I have smaller wrinkles on my headrests then what Chris shows in his pics and mine haven't smoothed out yet. The cause of the wrinkles is due to how the leather is cut/shaped and sewn. As a long time sail maker and awning manufacturer it was all about aesthetics. We chased visual flaws on a daily basis.OcCoupe wrote:Chris is correct, I just had my seats refinished and I noticed that almost all surfaces had a little extra material, I went to the SoCal Vintage where the car sat in the sun for several hours and most all of the loose leather tightened up and now fits superbly. I think this was very intentional.wkohler wrote:Hey Phil, you have to give the leather a couple of weeks to tighten up. It's not fair to criticize a freshly done job in those respects.
Loose leather in flat areas yes.., this will tighten up. Diagonal wrinkles and push-wrinkles caused by the way the leather is cut and sewn will not. Look at Chris' pic of the headrest in the lower corners. As the sewing operator made that radius turn, trying to sew a straight piece of leather to a curve, and with a welting strip sandwiched in the middle, it's really hard to keep it all in sync as you walk the needle around the radius.
Again.., the job looks great and considering having Jims do my rear seats since I don't have the time and the seat base has split. And if i take my seat to them I walk a no wrinkle guarantee
