B-Y Fabric and Construction

[Michael B]

Hello,
I'm new to the forum, but joined as it has been very helpful for me. I have a question as your profile has come up on B-Y and its lack of fabric selection. Do you know where you could point me to that their fabrics could be viewed. I certainly understand they are a leather company first and foremost but their sofa's priced in fabric seem like they are a very very good value for the money. 8 way hand tied springs, laminated hardwood frames, down/spring cushions standard etc. i assume B-Y (not Seven Seas) is still 100% american made? in your personal opinion is it a good sofa even is selected in fabric?

B-Y puts VERY little emphasis on fabrics and they don't post them on-line to my knowledge. The only place to see them is at a dealer - but I would not be too surprised if many dealers would tell you they don't have them. What few fabrics they have are under-whelming at best, I think you would be better off to use your own fabric (COM) and send it in. Yes, anything with a Bradington Young label is made in Hickory, NC. I have never sold a B-Y sofa in fabric in over 20 years of being a dealer with them, but I imagine it would be fine.
