What Is Naugahyde?

The story is told of how composer Arnold Schoenberg -renowned for his thorny compositions- wished for his music to be whistled on the street. Similarly, inventors dream of creating products that become a constant part of peoples lives.


Occasionally, when an item or product becomes synoymous with the name it's manufactured under, that name can become a genericized trademark. Despite the best efforts of the companies involved names like Velcro, Google, Clorox, Kleenex, Q-Tip, Band-Aid, and so on have become genericized trademarks. The same has also happened to Naugahyde, a type of vinyl. Not all of our customers may know that naugahyde is simply one manufacturer's name for their vinyl product.


At J&O, you can find a wide range of vinyl -or naugahyde- styles and colors to suit your taste. These wonderful vinyl fabrics are available in textured or smooth finishes. Some are marine grade for use in marine environments, while others are ideal for picnic table covers.


Regardless of the type of vinyl you are looking for, make J&O your primary stop for your vinyl/naugahyde needs.

Vinyl Vs. Leather


What is the Difference between
Leather and Vinyl?



This question may seem like, duh!!!, But you wouldn't believe how many people come into our store in New Jersey and ask for leather, but mean vinyl.



Leather

Leather can be used to make anything from coats, boots, expensive pocketbooks, and even to upholster furniture. Leather is used in many of the same arenas as fabric and is a very popular clothing material. On the contrary, leather is not a fabric, it isn't woven, knitted, wefted or piled in any way. Leather is made up of what you would call, aaaah, skin cells.

Leather is a skin that is sold by the skin and isn't cut into yard increments. Some leather goods stores may have leftover scraps for sale, but please do not walk into a fabric store and ask for a yard of leather.



Vinyl. . . the man made leather.

The term vinyl is used interchangeably with many products such as music records, electronics, floor coverings and even siding for a house. When fabric weight vinyl was first introduced it has been called everything from Naugahyde, Pleather (plastic leather), to faux leather.

J&O's vinyl is a synthetic made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) but we won't go into the scientific defintions of vinyl types and all that it's made of. We'll leave that to someone who really cares. The vinyl we sell here at J&O Fabrics can be used in a variety of household items and is available in a variety of weights. Vinyl can be used for placemats, shower curtains, tablecloths etc.


The vinyl we sell at J&O is heavy-weight and can be used to upholster. Vinyl's smooth surface and water resistent properties make it easy to clean with warm water and soap. Starting at $8.00 a yard, J&O strives to keep our prices competitive. We carry several types including Marine Grade, Felt Back, Expanding Back, and Textured to replicate various animal skins such as snake or alligator. If you want to know more about our different types of vinyls, visit the Vinyl Section of our website. We even have a few Paisley Vinyls, in addition to an array of Solid Colors and Clear Plastic.


New to our vinyl collection is our HOTTEST SELLING High Gloss Patent Leather (vinyl of course). If you're interested in purchasing vinyl, you have to check it out!





Overall, the vinyl at J&O can be used interchangeably wherever leather is traditonally used. Take advantage of the new leaps made in technology over the years. Leather is an excellent material. . . but so is vinyl; it's a lot less expensive and an animal is still alive because of it.
