I’ve wanted to do an auto upholstery essential tools list for the DIY group or upholsterers that are just starting out and just testing the waters. While doing my research on what’s already out there on this topic I noticed a lot of articles about upholstery tool must haves, including things like webbing stretchers and […]

The Tartan prance is neither tartan nor does it give the appearance that it could prance, more like stomp, but the mock promotional video is hilarious. I have to admit, we are stumped, even Auryn the Tartan Guru had no idea what tartan this is, presumably something made up to suit the car. It looks to me like MacLaine of Lochbuie Ancient, it's not a perfect match but, close enough for me. The tartan in the far left picture looks a little bit like Macrae of Conchra Modern Tartan to me, minus the yellow stripe, Auryn on the other hand thinks it looks like Moffat Modern. The one on the far right looks like... Look at that raw American power, it looks like a Bald Eagle and Mount Rushmore had a baby which was raised by James Dean and Marilyn Monroe on a diet of apple pie and pepsi-cola. The big tartan cheese - Auryn- informs me that this is MacPherson Ancient tartan. This one, although in bad nick, is certainly charming and the interior is made more so by its nifty tartan seats. The very charming tartan inside this Kombi Van is not one that Auryn or I recognise, however, I think if you wanted to emulate this style, you would be hard pressed to go wrong with Cameron Hunting Ancient tartan , Galloway Hunting Ancient or Taylor Ancient tartan. If you have been inspired by any of these car interiors but you don't know which tartan to go for, just drop us an email and one of our dedicated members of staff will make the treacherous journey into Auryn's lair and find out for you.

After spending a few years hauling and selling antique rugs from its trunk, a vintage Mercedes underwent a lavish makeover with one of the plush textiles. A project of photographer and designer Mikael Kennedy, the luxury model is lined with pieces of a Farahan rug that covers its floorboards, trunk and subwoofer, and rear deck, adding colorful, ornate patterns to the otherwise streamlined interior. The retro revamp was part of Kennedy’s decade-plus repair of the vehicle and a collaboration with a professional upholsterer, who aligned the motifs under the dash and centered the main design in the trunk.
