That Duralee fabric is no longer made, and hard to find now. I found another company making a similar fabric , but is two tone colors. They are based in Dallas, and I have thought of going over and asking them if they can supply it as a solid color in green and blue. The duralee fabric was not an automotive grade fabric, and is vulnerable to staining and fading in sunlight. The new fabric I mentioned is for aircraft interiors, and should be more suitable for the kind of use we would give it.

Superwasp, I contacted SMS folks and they sent me a sample of a red and white hound's-tooth design. The design is a bit smaller than the original material that was in the car but it was a good quality wool material with a good backing on it. Not sure if I will buy any but it might be worth a shot for you to check them out.

I am now in contact with this Dallas based company. They are checking with the mill about getting this made in a single color. The velvet squares and the backing cloth will be woven from same color yarns. Lets hope for good news from the mill! I am hoping the minimum order is not more than 200 yards, but we'll see. I think the green is in the most demand at this point, so I may have that done first. I need to heard from folks as to what is needed, and if they will actually buy it, it it is made......I don't want to spend $1000+ and only get a bit of it back and have two rolls of this nice fabric sitting unused in a closet. Yes, I will probably put an ad in WTN also when I hear back from the mill.
