Also when replacing the seat covers be advised the REPRO covers are a pressed pattern VS the original which is an actual woven piece of material. The feel when sitting in the car is WORLDS APART!
SMS fabrics in Oregon has NOS COmfort Weave material in various colors for $150 a yard - takes 3 yards to do a car.
Send them your old rear and one bucket and they will pull the threads and make patterns from your originals and will sew new covers with NOS weave for you - we had a set of Neutral Comfort weave covers done by SMS last year - charge was $1300 for the front and back- it took us 8 months to get them done, so plan accordingly.
PERSONALLY If I had a car going to need it- I would buy the material to have for the car - if SMS runs out there will not be a source other than someone randomly having 3 yards of Blue Comfort Weave. I bought a couple yards of red and couple of bright blue because I plan on doing a 69 -70 Corvette with bright blue and maybe a Pewter over Red 72 LT1.
