Getting Houndstooth Sport Seats

[stonea]

So I'm looking at buying a full houndstooth interior in great condition. The only problem is its not "full" its missing the front Sports seats. My problem is now trying to either source some or find fabric for one. I've PM'd several Interior guys on here and I'm having a hard time getting timely responses. I know people are busy and some have lives outside this forum, but I need an answer as soon as possible so I can snatch these up. So does anywhere know where I can get the fabric for the seats? Its the brown and tan houndstooth and I need to get a source for the fabric first of all and secondly I need a guy who can sew up some covers for me.

Below are the seats I want to buy.

i got lucky w someone local several years ago selling the front sports for $125/pair.

another option that might work. Getting another rear back seat (upper & Lower) or comfort fronts, and using that fabric to cover the centers of donor front sport seats.....then possibly going black vinyl/leather on the bolsters.

The vertical stitching is already there, just would need to cut appropriately to recreate the centers.

I've read several threads on BMW forums mentioning this supplier. Their catalog shows the grey houndstooth and bolster material. If you do contact them, please post back here and let us know how it goes. People are always asking about a source for houndstooth and uberkaro.

This is what I'm likely going to have to do. I did find some seat covers yesterday, but they're in rough shape.
