An Automotive Turandot »
One of my Espada’s four periwinkle-blue leather seats is cracked and dry-rotted. I can always reupholster it, but in order for it to match the other three, I must reproduce the leather’s original perforation pattern, which looks like Martian hieroglyphics. To do that, I have to send the new, unstitched leather to a man in Italy who runs it through the special hole-punching machine. Including labor, shipping, and customs duty, it runs about $2000. For holes.
