Looking for black vinyl to match 1971 Nissan GTR

I have a customer with a 1971 Nissan Skyline GTR, who is looking to have one of the seats reupholstered to look as original as possible. I am keeping the original insert material. I am in Canada, and can't find what I need through any of my suppliers. Anyone here know where I could possibly find a similar shiny, smooth black vinyl in the US? English Pub by Naugahyde would be exactly what I would need as far as sheen and weight, but it is too distressed.

You might check with SMS Auto Fabric. They seem to be able to furnish about any auto fabrics.

@Erin Alex , English Pub is way to thick a vinyl for your seating. Allante has that grain if you can get it.

Looks pretty similar to Spradling Islander too

English Pub is the exact same oz per yard/gsm as the FR vinyl I use for some aircraft seating, so I didn't think it would be an issue to use it for automotive seating. I'll check the Allante. Thanks for your feedback.

Allante is one of my favorite vinyls to use. Soft and has a fair amount of stretch to it.
