Looking for the sort of diamond stuff that I have now. There is the material all the way down then on the sides there is a plastic vinyl and the stitching has ripped between the two. I want that material all over but don't know what to type in...

It's the sort of stuff motocross seats are made of as other seats will be too slippy.

A bit like this:

And do you think a normal dressmaker will be able to do it? As there is one nearby who does stuff cheap for family members like my sister is having two single duvets stitched together (her and her bf's favourite football teams) and it is costing £8!

What bike is it as you may be able to get a specific one. My old motocross bike had a super grippy one on, as many mates have too!

Found two universal seat covers. One is available at a few places but only in the US.

And as I am selling my bike soon I need it done now.

The other place is here.

Emailed a few local people to see if they can upholster it cheaply as I don't know anyone with a staple gun and for my first time I don't want to fuck it up if it's to sell Laughing

Just got to unpick my current seat cover and double check the size then order it.

They have other seat covers if anyone is still looking for one.[/code]

Unfortunately not mate, still trying to find out a proper name or source as £17 is a bit steep and will probably be £20 inc. postage. Thinking of just getting some normal material and sticking it on, not for my benefit!
