I would ask for a close up picture to make sure you are getting the correct material.  I purchased enough from SMS to complete my 1967 Shelby only to be delivered the wrong material.  In addition the service was less than great.  If you have any luck please let me know.

I have their sample and it's close, but no cigar for concours:


Weave is too tight and you can see through it -- easily.

Their headliner looks dead on to me ($249); matching seat vinyl is ok.

If your insert is ok have an upholstery shop take it out of the old seat and sew it into new vinyl. I hear the piping (size)  is another challenge.

 Forgive my ignorance but is 67 comfortweave material different than 68 comfortweave material?

Most of the repop stuff I see(especially the complete covers)is stamped,not woven material like the original.I was lucky and my comfortweave inserts were still good so I had my upholstery shop build covers around the passenger one.For the drivers side I had them build a cover around the stamped repop stuff as it's a driver so it gets more wear(stashed the original insert in a garage cabinet in case I decide to get fancy one day)They certainly aren't a perfect match but good enough for a driver.At any rate they sure as hell look better than when I bought the car in 82.At that time the inserts were tied in with fishing line,which looked kinda weird as the car had fresh paint.......Good Luck!!!

I took the advice of several owners on this forum and had my original comfortweave sewn into a new outer cover for the drivers seat.  I think it turned out really nice.  Pax seat and rear seat are still original.  Having problems posting pics at this time.

I need some correct 67 comfortweave in red.  I had SMS send me a sample. 
As others have said it's close but not 100% correct.  They want $175/yr for red.
Anyone know how much would be needed for 2 front seats and rear fold down?

I do have some original dark blue 67 comfortweave laying around never used.  Maybe I should put it up for sale!
