And that obviously does not include labor.

What makes the fabric so expensive?

I see the kit includes interior panels (cardboard and fiberboard are not that expensive), some padding, some felt, hog rings, etc. $2150 just seems a tad steep for what it would likely cost to produce. Maybe I’m missing something.

I have no knowledge on the said kit but it does sound a bit outrageous for the sum of its parts. To the OP's original question, that same fabric is still probably WORTH $15-$20 a yard! I wouldnt have an idea how many yards it would take for a Victoria, you have to pay to play!!
Kinda the same thing as to why a top of the line Harley is close to $50k!!!! a whole let less goes into one of them than a full size car/suv that you can get for the same price.
