Built for Drivers Who Mean Business

Knoedler Manufacturers has spent decades crafting commercial and fleet vehicle seating that doesn't just look sharp — it holds up to thousands of hours behind the wheel. Their custom seat program brings that same Canadian-made quality to drivers who want something uniquely theirs.

Whether you're outfitting a work truck, a fleet vehicle, or a personal rig, Knoedler's customization matrix is one of the most comprehensive in the industry. Start with fabric, pick your colors, choose your stitch, add your logo — and end up with seats that are unmistakably you.

Five Materials, Countless Feels

The foundation of any custom seat is the fabric. Knoedler offers five distinct material families, each with its own character and durability profile.

Genuine leather brings premium warmth and patina over time. We recommend selecting Genuine Leather when selecting the Heat and Cool option to minimize accidental snags in the perforations that allow air to flow through the seat. Vinyl and synthetic options offer superior resistance to spills and UV. Mordura® and Maxtrix Textile are the heavy-duty picks for high-wear commercial applications.

For extreme conditions, Cordura® fabric is also available in Black and Grey only

Standard, Puffy, or Pattern — the Stitch & Color Set the Tone.

Three distinct stitching designs transform the seat's personality entirely. The same black synthetic leather reads completely differently depending on the seam work and a pop of contrasting color. We love red or orange thread against an a darker color. Show your own personality.

Standard
Clean, flat panel construction. Professional and understated — the workhorse look for fleets and commercial builds.
Puffy / Overstuffed
Plush, padded sections with double-stitched seaming. Maximum comfort and a luxury truck aesthetic.
Pattern
Diamond-quilt pattern is a classic. Honey Comb adds a retro feel. Diamond Wave for the modernist. Timeless craftsmanship with a bold visual signature.

Stitch Color
Double Stitching on all Knoedler seats is the signature look. Set yourself apart with a pop of color or contrasting accent. As a nod to the custom craftsmanship of Knoedler seats, pick the color that represents your style.

Put Your Logo Where You Sit

This is where a custom seat becomes a branded seat. Knoedler offers logo and design embroidery on the backrest and headrest, with a full palette of thread colors spanning greens, blues, teals, purples, reds, oranges, ambers, and neutrals from white to charcoal to black.

Request a mock-up of your logo to see exactly how it'll render before a single stitch is placed. It's the kind of detail that elevates a work truck into a rolling showpiece — or simply marks your rig as yours.

"Whether it's a company crest on a fleet of service vehicles or a personal monogram on a one-off build, the embroidery program turns every seat into a canvas."

"Don't have a logo yet? We are happy to help design one for you. Give us a little input on your brand, interests, preferred motif or quotes and we will mock up some designs to choose from - courtesy of the Seat Specialists Design Team."

Don't worry, we've got you covered.

Sometimes there just isn't that perfect color match that will make a show truck shine in a pride and polish show beyond all others. Seat Specialists works with Knoedler to specially source your covering of choice - your true style will prevail and we are happy to work with you to make it happen. The options are endless and we can lead the way.

Canadian-Made, Driver-Obsessed

There's a meaningful difference between a seat that fits a truck and a seat that fits a driver. Knoedler's customization program exists because no two drivers, routes, or rigs are identical. The combination of five fabric types, six color options per material, three stitch profiles, six thread colors, six back styles, and an open embroidery palette means the number of possible configurations runs well into the thousands.

That's not complexity for its own sake — it's precision. Every choice you make brings the final seat closer to the exact thing you need it to be.
