I bought one of the then new adjustable fishing chairs aimed principally at Carp Fishermen in the 1980s which have now become very widely used.
With a lightweight frame and adjustable legs it has served me very well for over 30 years and many hours have been spent sitting and napping on this essential piece of kit. But horror of horrors the canvas has failed and enormous tear has appeared due to the material finally rotting so patching is not an option.
The easy solution would be to buy a complete new adjustable chair and throw the old one away but besides the obvious waste it has a sort of sentimental attachment
So to the solution - with the original canvas cover as a pattern where can I find a suitable length of replacement canvas to have a new cover made + any advice if there is someone out there who could make it.
For the time being the Efgeeco Packaseat has been dusted off and pressed into action and being a late version it used some sort of reinforced plastic covering rather than the canvas on the early variant.
If you can help I will buy you a day ticket to fish one of my local day ticket waters as a thank you.

I have used these people before for canvas
https://www.whaleys-bradford.ltd.uk
They do all sorts of different weights and types and I am sure they will have something suitable.
