Classic car covers, cut to the pattern of your model
A classic car needs a cover that follows its lines without rubbing the paint, and that lets it breathe through the months it spends in the garage. Our Paris workshop cuts yours from the exact pattern of your model, in the fabric that suits the place where the car sleeps. Covers start at 305 €.
Why a made-to-measure cover for a classic car
A standard-size cover is drawn for no car in particular. On a classic, with proportions of its own, it hangs loose in one place and pulls in another. Ours start from the pattern of your exact model, one pattern per generation, so the fabric follows the body with no loose fold and no point of tension.
The workshop has cut and sewn covers in Paris since 1985. Over the years it has built a library of patterns, from the Citroën 2CV to the Ferrari Testarossa: today 93 makes and more than 1,000 cars, generation by generation. Each cover is drawn, cut and sewn by hand.
When you order, you give the make, the model, the generation and the registration number. The workshop checks the version of your car before cutting the fabric, and a mistake in the model is corrected free of charge as long as making has not started. It is the same method for every one of our made-to-measure car covers.
Which fabric, depending on where the car sleeps
The right cover depends less on the car than on where it spends its nights. Three cases, three fabrics.
- In the garage, all winter: Jersey. A breathable polyester with a soft, scratch-free lining, made for long storage and collector cars. Four colours, from €470. Indoor Jersey covers
- In the garage, taken out often: Lycra. A supple stretch fabric, light and hard-wearing, that goes on and comes off in seconds. It is the cover used by museums and motor shows. Six colours, from €305. Indoor Lycra covers
- Outside, or under an open shelter: Urban. A waterproof, weather-resistant polyester that blocks 99 % of UV, against rain, sun, salt and frost. Its fitted cut, with elastic front and rear, keeps it taut so it does not flap. In black, from €385. Outdoor Urban covers
Prices depend on the size of the body: the exact price of your cover appears as soon as your car is chosen. The three fabrics, their colours and their care are compared side by side on our fabrics and finishes page.
Indoor or outdoor cover?
An indoor cover protects from dust and fine scratches in a dry place. It is not made for rain or for direct sun. If your car sleeps outside, even one night a week, choose Urban, the only one of the three that is waterproof and UV-blocking: see our outdoor car cover page. In a garage, a box or a closed shelter, choose Jersey or Lycra, compared on our indoor car cover page.
Lycra or Jersey for a car kept in a garage?
Both are indoor covers, cut to the same pattern. What separates them is the way the car is used. Lycra is the cover you handle often: light and stretch, it comes off in a moment before a drive and goes back on just as quickly when you return. Jersey is the cover you leave in place: on in November, off in April. Its breathable fabric and soft lining are made for long storage, and it is the only one of the three that takes contrasting piping.
Laying up for winter: a breathable cover against condensation
Laid up for the winter, a car stays covered for months without moving. The cover therefore has to let air through. Jersey is a breathable polyester: it protects the car through the winter without trapping condensation against the body, and its soft lining does not scratch the paint.
For a car that spends the winter outside, the priority changes: rain, frost and salt come first. Urban is the cover made for that, waterproof and weather-resistant all year round.
Between two seasons, Jersey and Lycra go in the washing machine at 30 °C maximum, with a mild detergent without bleach, then dry in the open air. Urban is washed by hand with a sponge and soapy water, rinsed with clear water and dried flat. None of the three goes in a tumble dryer. Each cover is delivered with its storage bag.
