Anybody can recommend where to find matching seat materials to match my saddle brown interior? I'm concern of finding the right color closed to saddle brown.

Hi, I had the same issue in looking for my interior in my 72 Malaga, no luck. The best I could do was material from a 70s Mercedez. It is close but not exact. I now opted to dye the newly upholstered seats.
Good luck. If you do find something. Please report back.
Thanks.

I waited until I found a set of orignal front and rear seats in excellent (mint) condition that were from a 72. But they were black so I decided to change interior color. I also bought the rear panels. I cant find a set of black door panels (carda) in the same condition so Im dyeing my two fronts which are in good condition. I kept looking for over a year before I found this set. I checked ebay, craigslist and the FAQ reqularly.
While I would prefer saddle, I like the idea that I have seats that look factory fresh.

The closest I've been able to match saddle brown was also from a '70 mercedes. This material I speak of is produced by Gahh. See attached link, it's the 716 Mahogany Plain pattern...not an exact match but close.
Al Larson recovered my seats using this material and I was pleased.
