Vintage vinyl upholstery fabric for your vintage trailer, kitchen chairs, tiki bar, patio set, or dollhouse

pam kueber - May 13, 2015, Updated: January 17, 2022

tiki upholsteryAre you restoring a vintage trailer and need retro vinyl for the seating? How about vinyl for your tiki barstools … or kitchen dinette … or outdoor patio set? After we wrote about IFSCO’s stash of New Old Stock vinyls last year, the company sent us a box of samples. I just wanted to report: 

vintage vinyl 1960sSqueeeeee, I love this stuff. It’s beautiful, and although I am not an expert in vinyl quality, it seems really high quality to me. The backing… the cushioning… is so… thick and cushiony.

Above: The only color left in the Palace collection is the Brass — I received an 8″ x 10″ sample in my package and it is just wonderful! I can only imagine what the Olive would have looked like, be still my 70s heart.

Case in point: The Tobago vinyl above is new to their site since I last went to look — it would be fantastic for tiki bar stools and furniture. And lookie those fabulous colors!

      Hi Marge, I don’t sell anything here. I research / search for / profile companies that do, though. For this product, I think there are numerous sources. You might try Heffrons or Bars and Booths to start. Good luck, Pam

    I love Tobago in all the colors! My mother-in-law had the Palace in the Bronze on copper brown chairs and it was beautiful. She had four kids, three of them boys, and that stuff was indestructible; the chairs looked like new thirty years later. Ifsco has some really neat stuff!
