I second the Al Knoch suggestion from theandies. Knoch specializes in interior components and sews their own seat covers, going on 40-50 years now.

Ecklers, not such a good choice in recent years. just about any automotive trim shop can recover. covers and foam from Al or Corvette America.

It's really not difficult to do. Get new foam, new covers, a pair of hog ring pliers, and give them to your husband, give him a kiss, and say "make me proud ya big lug".
