Anyone ever tried to source any non BMW specific houndstooth?

How about these

And this one also they have a branch in Chelsea this one is anthracite, does it look a good match ?

Also there are some custom fabric links in this thread on e28 forum and some pics of one of these fabrics against BMW fabric, a group buy on something like this could be a good shout, sent them a detailed pic and order up a load maybe
