50 YEARS OF EASIRIDER

Easirider are specialists in handcrafting genuine lambs wool over rugs for the world’s finest cars using prime quality genuine sheepskin, and 2021 sees them celebrating their first 50 years in business.

The company was formed in 1971 by Peter Robinson, who had been travelling through Europe and discovered the superb comfort that sheepskin offers as an upholstery material. On his return to the UK he found it impossible to buy sheepskin seat covers locally, so he set about finding a suitable tannery and persuaded them to prepare appropriate sheepskins so that he could make his own. Soon, friends and neighbours and their friends and neighbours started to ask where they could buy them. Before long business reached a point where Peter decided to leave his job and set up a dedicated company specialising in sheepskin for the car. In 1976 Charles Afford and Christine Fisher joined Easirider, and they still form the back-bone of the company.

Initially established to manufacture sheepskin seat covers, Easirider very quickly added lambs wool over rugs to their product portfolio – traditionally found mainly in Rolls- Royce and Bentley, they set about making them available for owners of all marques. So successful were they that these became – and remain – the company's principal activity. The over rugs are made using fleeces carefully selected for their dense, plush 25mm pile which combines luxury with durability, and Easirider’s palette of beautiful colours can complement or contrast with the interior of your car.
