Was thinking of some diamond plate (upholstery-not matting) that someone had posted earlier a few years ago. I could take the stock piece to either a shoe repair or Korean sew shop and they could sew the other fabric over the top. -- BTW the Korean comment is a complement not derogatory. When I was stationed there, they could fabricate anything and not charge a fortune like Americans. My dress uniforms are still holding together after 12 years.
