Need help with seat covers!!

I have an 82 Z28 that we are restoring to look like my very 1st car! Having trouble finding the seat covers tat are maroon velour and have a different pattern in the center of the front seats. Attaching a photo from my 1st car interior. Would appreciate any help on finding these!! TIA

You're not going to find "seat covers" that replicate the pattern, or are the same color.
your best bet is to find a local, good, reputable auto upholstery shop who can order the color velour, (or get very close,);then stitch replicate the exact pattern when recovering your seats.
it's not difficult to do, but not cheap, either.

Reach out to Lethal Interiors. Princess does amazing work. You can search and find countless cars she's made covers for, including the almost stock covers for my 89. If not Lethal, I think Roorancher is probably correct in that you'll have to go to a local upholsterer. She's on facebook and Instagram too. Here's her webpage and a link the thread I posted when I finished up mine.
