I contacted Autos International today, and they charge $325/ yard for hounds-tooth!
The rep suggested I buy two yards to recover stock 914 seats. Now maybe I am naive but you can almost buy a new seat in that price range. Is this just the price of entry with anything vintage Porsche that could be considered a restoration material? Any other known sources of this style material? Rant over.

Hey Matt,
Since you're foregoing authenticity, check out this page from SMS that has a bunch of houndstooth variations. A houndstooth plaid might be interesting in your car. SMS Auto Fabrics Houndstooth Options (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/www.smsautofabrics.com-12234-1408663782.1.jpg) |

Cheers. Thanks for the suggestion and link. I am not 100% clear on the direction for my car yet but loved the look of houndstooth pattern on the fancy 911's at the Werks Reunion in Carmel Valley last week.
