Default New Leather for 86 PACE CAR

I am almost finished with the restoration of my 86 pace car. It is time to order new leather and foam for both seats. I am looking for recomendations of where to buy good quality leather, Ecklers, Mid America etc... also the pros and cons of perforated or non perforated leather. I have also noticed that the replacement covers that I have seen do not have the embroidered CORVETTE logo on the head rest, does any supplier have this option?

I would sure appreciate any suggestions.
