I have installed only one kit from Classtique recently and I was dissapointed in the seat material as compared to the original that came in the pick up when new. I am sure that LB would have had the exact seat material at a little higher price. With me, it is either correct or it is not. Some things like restoring just a driver, I can go the cheaper road. It is nice to have a choice of price and quality. You usually get what you pay for.
Interesting comments. I believe you will find that on many piece-goods, both of these companies purchase from the same manufacturer/supplier. On a few things that L/B has manufactured, Elizabeth (--or even Bill Sturm) purchase directly from L/B and then sew it in their respective shops.

I don't know what material you speak of for the pick-up but sadly there are several materials that L/B or Classtique offer in their kits that is incorrect simply because it is not being manufactured. If you are willing to find original material, --or manufacture (dye) it yourself, Elizabeth will use your material to sew the kit.
