If you're looking for cloth like your originals, forget it. No one makes correct GM pallax replacement cloth seat covers for our cars. That being said, here are your options.
1. Try to find a good used cloth driver's seat (good luck)
2. Recover all your seats in a different material like leather or vinyl (assuming you want your seats to match)
3. Recover your seats in the incorrect cloth patterns that are offered by the aftermarket (once again you'd need to do all of them if you want them to match)
4. Take your driver's seat to an upholstery shop and get them to replace the sections that are torn. A good upholstery shop should be able to custom stitch patch panels pretty close to the original patterns. Of course, the actual material will be a little different, but this will likely be your cheapest route, plus you get to keep the correct pattern on your other seats. This is probably what I would recommend.
5. There's someone on here called "thecovergirl" that does some of the best replacement cloth seat covers I've seen. Not sure if it's the correct patterns, but judging by photos I've seen on here, her work is excellent. I've heard some complaints about her work, but none of them seem to be valid. I would do a search for her on here and see what you can find.
