Default upholstery question

The stock 34 tudor I recently purchased was re-upholstered before I purchased it with a light tan almost corduroy (sp) material and there are a few small pcs that are missing like between the door windows and posts .
The previous owner is in such poor health it is impossible to correspond w/ him to maybe find out who did the work .
Does any one know who might provide a small qty of material once it is identified ?

Thank you guys again !
Bob

Sounds like it might be Bedford cord material (used until about mid-'33 model year). Both LeBaron Bonney and Hirsch carry Bedford cord in various shades of color (and likely by other automotive fabric suppliers as well.

In the photo below is a '32 seat in Bedford cord for reference (just the seat back as everything else in the photo is broadcloth) .

Le barron Bonney and Cartouche(Mac's) will send you samples of their material.They would be cheap if not free.With a little luck, you may find a match. Good luck.
