Hi, Looking to buy some authentic Fender tweed. The REAL stuff that they used back in the day to cover their amps. Just wanted to see if you could possibly provide me with any proof/assurance that this is the real stuff. Thanks so much

Yes, this is the same tweed fabric that Fender uses on their amps.

There are many different methods and preferences on how to seal and lacquer a tweed cab. Bulls eye shellac seems to be a popular choice.

It's listed here as Tolex. Does that mean it is vinyl?

That is simply a general term used for any cabinet covering material in this case. If you look in the product description, it states that this is "Authentic Woven Fabric" We apologize for any confusion.

S-F316 works great when installing Tweed on a cabinet. You can find it here - https://www.tubesandmore.com/products/tolex-glue-brush-adhesive

The orientation shown in the product image is from the 64" orientation. The diagonal stripes run the width of the material.

This is raw fabric and does not have any backing.
Product Reviews
Very nice tweed! One yard was barely enough to cover a slightly bigger than original tweed deluxe style cabinet. The orientation of the pattern is important and will limit the usable fabric.
quality made looks just like original tweed
A very nice canvas fabric that is great to work with. I would definitely recommend this over some of the paper/plastic reproduction “tweed” covering out there.
Nice looking tweed. It's the olive / beige variety w/ a coating on one side to keep it from fraying and (assumed) make it easier to apply to a surface.
For those of you that may be hesitant, this is NOT tolex.
The best tweed covering is all I would use. Covered many amp cabinets and steel guitar cases with it !
Beautiful, original Fender tweed tolex. What more can you say? If you are recovering a vintage or covering a new clone, this is what you want for that original look. A little more expensive, but a lot wider than other fabrics, and definitely worth the cost.
Material matches the tweed on my old Fender amp exactly!
Great tweed at a good price. Price with shipping was far better than anything else on the web. High quality stuff. The coating on the front makes it accept shellac very evenly, it only needs a little sealing on the seams. One yard was enough to do a 5E3 cabinet that I built an inch deeper than standard. I even had enough to redo the top panel after screwing up the shellac due to sloppiness. I will definitely buy this stuff again if/when I build another tweed style amp.
