Mine are from Interior Innovations who is associated with ridies.com, an active vendor here. I used C5RCLONE’s pattern to start. Completely custom, with double diamond stitching, nova suede seat area, perforated outer surfaces and entire cover is leather. I paid about $1100 including new seat foam.
If these guys can’t give you what you want it doesn’t exist.

I hope the they will....didn't dare the double diamond with contrasting stitching...we decided to go low key and also avoid logos everywhere....
yes I am in Sweden...which does not help for parts procurement...at a normal price.

I understand. If I had gone with contrasting panels I might have done the same, I also chose not to use the “Jake” logo as well.
