What address should I send COM fabric to?

Please send your COM fabric or COL leather to:

Source International

17 Gilmore Drive

How do I submit fabric for testing?

Not all fabrics are suitable for all products. To ensure the selected textile is compatible, we require all fabrics to be tested and approved before an order is placed. You can search our list of pre-approved textiles here.

To submit a fabric for testing, please send an 8" x 8" swatch, along with the product model and your contact information. Testing results will be emailed to you within 48 hours of receipt. Please send fabric samples to:

Source International
17 Gilmore Dr.

While we make every effort to keep our approved textiles list up to date, our upholstery methods may evolve, and as such, our approvals are provisional. We reserve the right to withdraw approval at any time to ensure the highest standards of quality and construction.

What fabrics are in stock?

We do not stock fabrics at this time. All of our products are made to order according to your specific fabric selections and individual specifications, which are ordered from the respective textile company upon order placement.

What is the difference between Graded IN/Approved fabrics?

Approved fabrics have been tested specifically for use on our chairs to ensure compatibility and performance. In contrast, graded in fabrics are provided for pricing purposes only and have not undergone the same testing for suitability on our products.
