Default Leather for repairing front seat

My drivers seat has worn badly at the left bolster from getting in and out over time in my 04. The black leather has to be replaced. The guy replacing the leather is very good and has been in business over 35 years. The problem he is having is trying to find a small enough piece to cover the left bolster without having to buy a complete skin which is expensive. He can get smooth leather in a small piece but not the textured leather I have. The guy who he used to get small sections from is retired. Any suggestions for alternative sources I could look into.

I think we may have something that could work for you. Can you get me the dimensions, my car is home in the garage or else I would measure it myself...

Also, take a picture of your seat and send it my way, that way I can get the grain closest to your exact leather.

Thanks for the heads up!

Have you got a "Jo Ann" store by you? It's a fabric store. They've got small pieces, big pieceses, I think they sell it by the yard.
