TORRINGTON HERITAGE TRANSPORT FABRICS

Torrington Heritage Transport Fabrics was formed in 2012 to support the transport preservation movement by making authentic fabrics from the golden age of travel available for projects of all sizes. We supply seating fabric for rail vehicle restoration, as well as small and large media and interior design projects.

Seats and their coverings are the most noticeable part of the interior of any transport vehicle, and the various styles and designs that have been used offer a fascinating journey through the fashions that have come and gone in the 175 years since the expanding railway network made travel affordable by all.

Our fabrics are recreated from clean, non-faded samples of original material, and are woven using a traditional wool/nylon mix, giving excellent durability and flammability characteristics. All our fabrics comply with relevant UK rail industry standards.

A wide range of designs has been revived since we commenced operations, and these are displayed in our Catalogue section. Full details of current availability are shown on the page for each individual design.

To discuss your project, or to place an order, please get in touch using one of the methods shown on our contact page or email us directly at [email protected].

Our fabrics are manufactured by Camira Ltd. (formerly John Holdsworth Ltd.) a company which opened its first mill in 1822, and which has been manufacturing moquette for rail and road applications since the middle of the 19th Century.
