19 maart 2014 - Rare and for sale

I hope all BBT Blog readers are as interested as I am in production processes,

I was very happy I could see part of the weaving of a new production upholstery material for SO34 Westfalia. I’m even more happy I can share these pictures with you, its pretty impressive,

For those who don’t know, we let weave the 4 styles early Westfalia fabrics in a period correct way to create same feel, style and looks like back in the day. No compromise!

We’re still looking for a decent sample of early Westfalia curtains, (the yellow one with that special ribble in it) (NOS or as close as we can get) to make a perfect reproduction in period materials and weaving Technics as well.

Enjoy the pictures, and look for the end result!

coloring teh materials is a process on its own…
