'65 Seat help...

I have a little dilemma...
I just spoke to SMS upholstery about getting the front and rear seats recovered. They said they couldn't do them without the original seat covers as they need the pattern.
I only have the front seat. The rear seat was gone entirely.
Does anyone have a REAR seat cover from a '65 f-85 club coupe in this style? It can be in any condition...any color...
just need the cover....would buy entire seat if we could work out shipping.

I couple of years ago I sent for samples from SMS for sterling blue code 911, and they sent me a silver? For sterling blue. I called last week and they said the color was the right one and the photo they sent is silver which it isn't right.(same one on bros site) They never said I had to send in my old covers. But my pattern is nothing like yours.

Edzolz...that IS the 65 club coupe rear seat...it’s just not mine.
Not many folks have seen this pattern, but it’s original.

here’s some others I’ve found.

I have never seen that pattern. It must have been in the F85 without any option called on the assembly line.

'To add another wrinkle...I just found out the the rear seat that came with my car(obviously not original) is from a 4 door.
notice the big curve on the corner?
so now I need a coupe back seat bottom.

That's what mine looks like. You have to get the rear for a club coupe or they will not fit right. RAG are you Roger just put two and two together.

My friend in Santa Fe bought the original F-85 4 door material from SMS and had a local upholstry shop make the seat covers using the originals as the pattern and they came out perfect.

If I can't find a rear pattern I may have to do the same.
The rear seems less complicated than the front.
