Default Argyle Pattern Seat

Hi everyone. Have been toying around with the idea of an Argyle pattern seat (Just the top side where you put your ***, not the sides).

I was wondering if anyone has seen something like this, or if they knew of a company who could make something like this.

Thanks all!

I called up Le Pera and they told me they dont have the fabric to do it... They said if I found the fabric I could send it to them and they could make it... Just wondering if I would have to have some sort of special material in order for it to be fine with daily riding

Just wondering if you'd do it in the argyle material..or leather with an argyle pattern? I can't picture how well the argyle material would hold up in the weather, or more importantly if it would tear under your butt

Yeah it that is what scares me.. I would need to find a material that would last and not just rip up or get soaking wet when it rains out...

I am sure I can find someone to make that for you, but it sounds like wool is the best option. Go Pendleton shopping at a vintage clothing store or a thrift store and buy a few you like. Email me and we can figure it out.
