Found some tweed fabric that is pretty close from https://sewfineproducts.com/Tweeds. I think the brown may be the one. It's hard to tell because of the fading. I think the bone has too much yellow. Its hard to find that color tweed.
My seats in OK light, I need to take the swatch and take a pic.

This is a pic from Jacob Broufa's Weissach for comparison. Man your foam is in good shape on the passenger side at least.

Thank you, it is pretty well defined throughout. For the most part anyway... Driver's seat bottom is a tad flat, but overall not bad. The front seats are definitely more faded than the rear, and my carpet is also a light green in some spots it is so sun-bleached!
I think your Medium Brown / Bone combination is spot on though. I wouldn't question it if I saw it in person. I'm excited to see how it turns out for you! |

This may be a while off, I am debating getting a sewing machine, the tweed is cheap so I could practice. My vinyl is in decent shape.
In the Wiessach sales brochure the color states light tan tweed insert. I have a couple more samples coming.
Side note, my car has the 4 spoke steering wheel, and it was an option. Which wheel is more desirable?
