I figure if anybody would know where to get good quality replacement seat covers it would be here. Anybody?
 
Supercoupe performance is the only source I know of and I think they are all leather. I'm sure others may know where Bill sources them from, though

Yeah, I just saw the OP's other thread. Didn't realize it was an SC when I responded here.

I love to mix and match between Cougar and Thunderbird, but in this case I suppose you'd also have to swap the foam pads to ensure the covers fit snug.

These junkyard treasures do exist though. So if you're not in a rush, @GRWeldon , my suggestion is to keep an eye on the yards near you. Also consider full seat swaps.

Auto Custom Leathers

This is the custom interior supplier for SCP, I decided to deal with them directly to save some money, which I did. I put an order in on Sept 7th, Jerry the owner said it would take about 3 weeks. A month went by and I didn't hear anything, so I sent them an email, I was told there was a...

Supercoupes have inflatable bolsters and if equipped with leather a fold down rear seat even swapping foam isn't doable without losing those.
 
Yep, I wrote about Auto Custom Leathers on TCCoA. Quality is nice, but I don’t recommend them as a business, and as far as I know that’s who Bill uses.
 
To piggy-back on this, there's no factory cloth reseller available? I'd like to add in SC folding rear seats, but not until I can find a source of Willow Green cloth to cover them in to match what I have.

I’m sure a local upholstery shop would be able to do something for you.
 
I was under the impression that matching the colours and oddball patterns of many car interiors was extremely difficult.

I've reached out to a company that specialises in old interiors: we'll see what they say.
