Rebuilding a vintage seat

The above link should get you on your way. The seat you have is a good quality, comfortable one which is going to look great, too, all for a little effort and a few bucks. The method in this link uses a thinner leather such as you might find from an old leather jacket or purse. No stitching is involved.
Here's a second link which does involve stitching and uses a heavier leather like what you'd likely find on a motorcycle.

I hope this helps. If it were me, especially for a first seat project, I'd go with the first method.

Hey SB, where'd the first link go to? Cause I only see the one link, what you call the second link.
