I may add that some Wal Marts dropped their 'fabrics' section. There was a
big uproar several years ago about it as quilters, and others who used the nice
sized fabrics section complained and tried to get some onlie petition going to
keep Wal Mart from shelving that area of store. Here in Houston only the 'super'
Wal Marts still have them, but yes, rolls of material, buttons and m ore, sort
of like mini-Michaels or mini-Hobby Lobby section.

There is also a company that has the fabric:
SMS Auto Fabrics 350 South Redwood St. Camby OR. 97013
503-263-3525
I got a 2"square sample of Levi denim from them couple years ago,
looks to be a more heavy duty material than what you would see in normal
material. Must be something , as they quoted me $79.00

Thanks a lot. I did not know about the hobby shops having
the material. I was just thinking about the prices that the old Levi
jeans were costing because of the fashion craze now. This info helps a
bunch. I am glad I found this BadAssGremlin bunch because you have
given me a bunch of valuable information.
Thanks

If you go to just about any hobby store lik eHobby Lobby or
Michaels, they sell rolls of Levi's denim type material. They also
sell new, and real, Levi Strauss buttons a auto upholstery shop can
stitch on seats and door panels. The material AMC used on the Levis
Gremlins, Hornets, Concords, AMXs & Jeeps was 'demin like
material' same stuff sold in stores. In 1978 you could get not only
blue but red, tan and black Levis interiors on your Concord, Gremlin
& Concord AMX.
