Re cover a suede cab

Mbarnez

Recently imported a custom Dumble clone from US. It didn’t travel well, with the beautiful buck skin suede cab covering requiring some attention.

I've looked at repairing it, but I think a complete new re-cover is in order.

Does anyone know anyone who can do a proper job with a suede re-covering? The likes of Zilla only do Tolex and won’t touch suede for example.

Local also way best, so would prefer a Yorkshire company, however I will travel to get it sorted right. Any suggestions?

Find a local reupholstery / furniture repair place perhaps?

And free issue suede material perhaps? Good shout.

I can recommend Tom at hoffnine. Dont know where you are, but he ships nationwide.

He might take on suede, though you'd have to ask.

He went above and beyond with my cab modification/re-tolex.

I'll second that - Tom's cabs are outstanding.

 Sounds interesting...Amplified Nation perhaps ? Sorry to hear of the suede damage...Michael at Modulus Amps does sterling work, possibly suede if you ask !

Yes, I will do suede work, though I hate recovering cabs unless they are already stripped.

Here is a faux suade cab I made a few years ago

That looks excellent! Just what I need. I’ll strip the cab myself. Save you the hassle. I will be in touch! Thanks chaps!!
