E-Type Elegance: Fully Trimmed Front Seats & Headrests | Talkin’ Trim w/ J-Skin

🧵 Fully trimmed Jaguar E-Type Front Seats and Headrests — expertly restored in Sand Grained Leather. In this episode of Talkin’ Trim w/ J-Skin, Jonathon Skinner showcases a beautiful restoration of Series 2 E-Type seats, originally from a customer’s car that left the factory without headrests. This set has been sympathetically updated with factory-correct frames and modernised comfort — including headrests — all trimmed to OEM spec using a leather-faced configuration. We explore the differences between Series 1, 1½, 2 and 3 seat and headrest variations, why Jaguar used “leather-faced” trims (and what that actually means), and how we incorporate subtle upgrades while maintaining the original period-correct look. We also dive into the benefits of using leathercloth piping over vinyl — a detail that makes all the difference in longevity and appearance. ⚠️ Watch out for common trimmer errors — even seasoned professionals often get these seats wrong. We show how it should be done. 💬 Restoring your Jaguar E-Type?
