Orange upholstery fabric for restoration?
Has anyone found a good source for the orange corduroy upholstery fabric for the 1970's Argosy units?
We actually like the warm feel of the orange and we'd prefer a restoration rather than changing the look with a different fabric.

Fred,
I don't know about orange fabric but how about an orange shower curtain...

Funny! One of the first things we replaced was the original shower curtain. I cut a new one down to the shape of the shower area and added the snaps. Turns out the Jo-Ann Fabrics has the exact snaps required! Just one more skill that I have acquired since buying the rolling home!

Update: I tore the fabric on my front seat which has expedited my upholstery replacement! I ordered a bunch of orange samples and ended up with 633016 CONNECTION JAFFA Crypton Fabric. Matching an orange carpet proved impossible so we are going with a chocolate brown carpet with a slight shag look. We are going to cover some of the panels with a Manolo Cafe fabric for a 70's look.

Here are some updated pictures of my interior renovation. Everything is now done on the inside. All of the seats were done by a local shop (also Airstream owners). Carpet (shag chocolate brown) is down. Panels are upholstered with the flowery 1970's fabric (technically "Manolo Cafe"). I just need to get the gen set fixed and renew my vehicle inspection sticker! Getting very close!
