Product Details

Carolyn Classic is an affordable contract vinyl with a verified 500,000-double-rub rating. It is thinner and stretchier than Pinnacle, which can make it easier to shape for general upholstery. Every current Carolyn Classic color uses the same construction and performance specifications; only the color changes.

Best for: Budget-conscious commercial and general upholstery where easier shaping and high abrasion performance both matter.

Choose another vinyl if: The absolute lowest price or a broad assortment of distinctive black grains is the priority—choose Denali. For maximum-duty contract and transportation work, choose Spirit Millennium.
