Occasionally, when an item or product becomes synonymous 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.
