Does anyone know who is the distributor/manufacturer for BRZs microsuede?

I am looking to get some of the charcoal black Alcantara-esk microfiber fabric used for the seats. I want to wrap some other parts myself because I really am not a fan of the stitch patterns on some of the premade ones. I just want everything to match. I don't believe that this is actual Alcantara. I think its just another microsuede, but short of taking a trip out to new york and getting a swatchbook from Mood, I am not 100% certain where to get some that matches. I suppose even if I cant get the exact same fabric, if anyone knows the pantone or if you happen to have purchased some microsuede that matches and you can maybe tell me where to get it I would appreciate it.

I have a swatchbook from Relicate that has pretty much all of the black colored Alcantara options.

9040 is probably the closest. I've found that when trying to match other cars I ran into this same problem of them only being "close" but not quite right. I believe some manufacturers use their own runs or special dyes.



It's also possible that this is Ultrasuede - another competitor to Alcantara (just a brand name after all). I don't have samples of that.

It is ultrasuede, at least that’s what ftspeed.com says.
