Found a Shirt
#4
The shirt had been in my closet waiting for embroidery. I forgot about it but after buying the new to me XK I went looking for it. Threw it on the embroidery machine yesterday and used the Sapphire Blue for the Leaping Jag to match my car.
I'm in the middle of recovering my headliner. The new material is a little different color than my factory headliner. So I am thinking about recovering the sun visors to match. If I do the sun visors I plan to embroider them with the Leaping Jag logo in the same color as the visors for a ghost effect. Should look better than the factory air bag stickers.

Looks pretty much like I think the XK visors are made.

There are literally hundreds of suppliers on the 'net for Passion Suede.
Great write up on DIY headliner repair:

Just tried installing the passion suede. The spray adhesive came out is a spray mixed with small ***** of glue (3M Super 77). The ***** bleed through the suede and show as dark spots. Two yards is not enough for a second try. Need to order more. Perhaps waiting for the ***** to completely dry would work. I will experiment with my scraps.

Super 90 should to the trick though.

Took one sun visor apart. I do not think the Passion Suede is stretchy enough to work the way the factory covered the visor. I may try to find some foam backed stretchy suede.
Gorilla Spray Adhesive had good reviews for headliners also available at Home Despot.
I live in Roswell NM. I will try Hobby Lobby to see if they have material.
I do do not want 1/8 thick foam I would prefer 1/16 inch.

We've been talking for 2 weeks, and should have 3 yards of passion suede shipping out this week. He must have been busy if you two didn't connect - I'd try again if you still need it.

Use your existing wardrobe (shirt, sweater, jacket, hat, etc.) and search Ebay for British Jaguar Patch. These are just a few.

Or just buy officially-licensed Jaguar clothing and accessories from Jaguar.

this thread reminded me of an old project I never started short of obtaining some materials.
I saw this shirt at a car race and while I never planned on wearing it I loved the graphics and wanted to make some sort of wall art.
Maybe cut out the back and frame it, maybe find a mannequin and dress it with this shirt, a proper tweed cap and find a spot in my garage.
It is an XL and the area is @ 17" wide, certainly frame able.
Any thoughts on this?
Thanks
