There are a few suppliers mentioned in this post. I am proposing to do the same to an RP myself but I haven't tried any of these yet.

Rexine, Vynide, Naugahyde - they're all variants of the same.

If you have a furniture-reupholsterer locally, they often have offcuts. Or visit your local "Benny & Jerrys" faux-period-diner and ask who they use to fix the tears in their supposedly-1950s upholstery?

The classic-car world also has a line in this sort of stuff.

I've used rexine covering from these people many times, and can recommend them wholeheartedly:

I have used Ratchford too, good quality stuff. For a very posh black finish leather is good, look for leather trousers in charity shops.
