Cracked Leather: 60s Tradition Solo Seat & Pillion Pad Set [Smooth] (CBW06)

The aging seats made with super realistic cracked leather, which have been in high demand, are now finally on sale.

This is a 60s Bates replica seat that is made with luxurious, realistic cracked leather (cracked leather) that Whale & Co. developed in collaboration with a domestic leather manufacturer, and is so realistic that at first glance it is indistinguishable from a vintage seat.

You'll definitely get attention from your friends who say, "You got a vintage Bates?"

The cracked finish has been applied by skilled craftsmen, and rather than simply aging by rubbing with sandpaper or forcibly staining with paint, the seats are made using aged leather that faithfully reproduces the changes that occur over the course of 50 to 60 years, resulting in seats that exude a natural vintage atmosphere with such realistic specifications.

It is rare to find a sheet with such a natural cracked finish.

It is also recommended as a sheet for everyday use to store items from that time.

The shape is a 60's Bates style 8.5 inch wide complete reproduction solo seat and pillion pad (tuck and roll).

Everything has been faithfully reproduced to the original, and the seats are available in the same sizes as the original, in 1 inch and 2 inch thicknesses.
The pillion pad sizes are the same as those used at the time, but two types that are easy to use on choppers have been selected and named "Small" and "Middle" for easy understanding.

The traditional tuck roll with invisible seams, the stitching lines on the surface, the screws for upholstery, and the pressed iron seat pan are all perfectly finished, from the parts that are visible at first glance to the parts that are not.

This is the greatest 1960s Bates replica, created by a designer who is a specialist in this genre and skilled craftsmen, after extensive research and thorough dismantling of a valuable vintage item.

This is the perfect product for your beloved car, which has been carefully selected.
