the best selection for any fabric for the seven I have found is Joann Fabrics. You might not get exactly stock though.

I went to my local auto upholstry shop that I deal with, he didn't have any luck finding an exact match for that same pattern I have in the widebody. Odd thing is, my door panels have been redone at one point in time and the new material is an exact match.

With 218k on the chassis, my seats do not have a single rip, tear or burn, the fabric is very, very thin though and I would like to redo them. I also need new fabric to redo the door panels, my mint ones will not fit with the side bars on the roll cage, so I need to make door panels with the door handle moved and no map pockets.
