When I did my seat, only ordered material from them and still took months. AFAIK no one else has correct material. Would suggest buying materials from them and having someone else stitch up the cover. They do sell the embossed section separately as well.

When I go to my local Upholstery shop I always ask the proprietor which vendor he recommends.

I don't expect original materials today for something which was OEM in 1966.
For the seats in my '77 Ford F350 Crewcab I chose the material my upholsterer recommended for durability, and now 20-years later I'm still Happy.

Good luck my friend.

You cant beat the original material that SMS has, for looks and originality.

Ahh, but you can indeed get the original materials. As AZSCAWPION and stonewalljac have stated, SMS Auto Fabrics reproduces the originals. All you need is the money, and plenty of patience, as they’re backed up. You can have them stitch up your cover, or they’ll send you the correct materials to take to your local upholsterer.
