    Does this look familiar and do you know where it can be purchased in the US?yd3hdpj4t1ze8kkv.jpeg

    I've had good luck with SMS, if you email them that picture they will send you a sample of what they have. The last couple of cars/trucks that I needed OEM fabric for they matched it perfectly.

    I need to change my opinion of SMS. I requested a sample of fabric for a 72 Nova which they supplied a sample of just what I needed and told me it was in stock. ( Needed 3 yards.) The price was very high, but they had it and I needed it so I ordered and gave them my billing information. They charged my card on October 12 and then the fun began. I waited a couple of weeks and nothing so I emailed them. They won't take a call unless you are ordering. They told me they had to order a new roll from the mill. (OEM fabric?) Anyway after two plus months and 20 emails with lame excuses, I still don't have the fabric. I called the credit card company to do a bill back which is now in progress. Just so you all know, beware of doing business with them. I had good luck in the past but will never use them again.

    If you deal with SMS long enough you will be the recipient of a poor service experience. They have their moments of getting it right but they under deliver way too often. They say they are working on improving customer service.

    I agree Peter.....If they could be honest about availability and ship dates would be nice, but they can't seem to even do that. Long lead times can be worked around, but when they lie about it and you try to schedule work accordingly , it's just not possible. I can't see how they keep their doors open.

    Give Midwest Fabrics a call, or email the pic to them. They may be able to help with that one.

    Thanks Andy, but the owner has picked out another fabric which I'm in the process of sewing up now. I will put them in my memory bank for future use. I'm done with SMS.

    If you feel like cringing, check out SMS' reviews on Yelp and the Better Business Bureau.

    It's really disheartening...

    I can understand peoples frustration dealing with SMS. After I had the credit card company refund my money and advised SMS that I cancelled the order and wouldn't accept any order, they recharged my card and shipped the material after over 3 months of lies. I had Visa refund my money for the second time, put a block on SMS and refused the shipment. I just don't understand how they stay in business or what their thought pattern might be. Had they been upfront to begin with and told me it would be three months, I could have worked around it, but they had to feed me full of lies and empty promises. I would caution anyone trying to deal with them.
