Looking at getting my seats redone, and like the look of the diamond pleats. Was wondering how they hold up under heavy use? Does the thread break down and unravel over time? Does standing on them rip them out when getting in and out of the boat, or on the deck?

My opinion would be press pleated. Easier to keep clean.
Great job on the boat

The thread holds up better on vinyl type material than on the alacantara type material.

No




long term feedback yet, all new

My alcantara with double diamond stitching is 5 or 6 years old. It’s held up just fine. No issues.

check out some of the new vinyl cool touch. different texture than traditional vinyl and a whole lot cooler to the touch.

2016 Nor-Tech 390 Sport. About 700 hours, all in Florida and holding up great!

Thanks for the responses guys, keep them coming
