Where do I get Escaine for the best price?

I want to upholster some things in the L with Escaine, maybe the headliner ....

So how mush is it and where do you pick it up at?

Ha Ha -- I was all excited and expecting 3 places to buy the simulated suede .....

If its called alcantara -- then thats what i need!

But I am not crazy--- the IS300 has the same stuff and they call it_Escaine in a car review on the internet--- thats where it got it from
_

IS 300 review page


The upholstery in the test (is 300) car was leather with suede-like "Escaine" inserts, which gave a nice look to this interior.


But if all else fails, I will just hit up Pico and Union for all the trouble I am going through to find this stuff

Hey...just looked it up on lexus.com....it does say leather or leather/Alcantara interior....MisterG was right!


www.alcantara.it

Italian made comes in mundo de colori, maybe Escaine was a color or something.
There is no distributor listed for US.

Search for "microsuede"

Lots of companies are selling similar fabrics. Since you are talking about the headliner, an exact match is not important.

They are the largest suppliers of upholstery anywhere around LA. Theyve got alcantara and more...they will ship anywhere. Dont bother with the website, just give them a call.
