Like Rick said, why not leather?, some guy on ebay sells hides and most upholstery shops have hides. Not as expensive as you might think. I bought three hides, enough for seats, map pockets, dash, shifter boot and door hinge covers. Upholstery shop recommended brush on contact cement, works great.

On the holes, I cut them about 3/32 larger to accommodate the leather which was folded in the holes and glued on the back side. I thought the leather might shrink over time?.
