Re: Captains Chairs Reply #25 – June 05, 2018, 04:28:13 pm Quote from: Dub – June 05, 2018, 03:15:14 pmI looked closely at a 270 last thursday that had all seats and chairs, sofa and valances recovered in "leather" from the Falcon Jet interior shop. Looked awful nice to me. Is that vinyl or what.. Hard to tell unless you look at the backside. Always a dead giveaway. I've sold a ton of new Mercedes, some were too late to change specs on the order and had MB-Tex (vinyl), others with leather. I've got a pretty good eye but to this day, can't tell the difference unless I look at the back. MB leather does not smell much.Pierce Quote Selected
Re: Captains Chairs Reply #26 – June 05, 2018, 04:41:17 pm I'm going to see if I can get my hands on some of the Falcon Jet material. Owner of the coach said on occasion Falcon donates material to an organization similar to Goodwill and they sell it. I've never seen nicer material, to nice to let mustard off a baloney sandwich drip on. Quote Selected

Re: Captains Chairs Reply #28 – June 13, 2018, 03:46:06 pm Don't suppose I will need to buy the "Falcon Jet" interior leather because I bought the coach that had the interior redone in it. One month old and time only will tell of it's durability. I do know that today it looks and smells pretty darn nice. I will have to remember to take the screw drivers out of my rear pockets before sitting on the sofa..The wife already mentioned that but I am a pretty careful sort anyway. Quote Selected 4 Likes

Re: Captains Chairs Reply #30 – June 14, 2018, 09:47:17 am I got home with it Friday Jimmy, I would have called you before now but head gasket on a KW and replacing a head on a Freightliner with Detroit has had us stretched thin. Thanks for your input on different rigs I've found. You should try to meet us in Beloxi on the 11th of July. We will get Jerry and Cindy to boil us some shrimp and mud bugs, I see where that could work out fine for you and me. Quote Selected
