Default Cocoa brown leather source

I’m always doing projects of some kind and I want to locate some Cocoa Brown Nappa leather. The Nappa leather (vs Napa) is very thin and pliable and conforms much better to odd shapes. Mr Google has been close, but no cigar.
Thanks, Perdido

Ironman88,
Ive tried them several times, but they use dealers and none are active or they won’t respond to my inquiries. There were actually 2 companies listed when I searched and I get no response or follow up from either. I’m hoping someone has a source they’ve used successfully.
Thanks, Perdido

Wow ! There is a color chip for an Acid Green OEM leather. I can't imagine they have sold too many cars with this option !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Contact Classic 9 Leather Shop, best in the business: http://www.classic9leathershop.com/. I know the former owner, and the guy who took over is very good. They'll be able to help you source the leather you are looking for, and maybe even supply it to you. Plus, they are a great Porsche vendor worth supporting.

kind of OT but I wonder where Singer sources their leather?
I have seen a couple of their cars and the leather work is bananas.
I am guessing it would be above our proverbial paygrade.
I know they source stuff from various people, so the leather isn't in house obviously.

The woven stuff appears to be from Spinney Beck.
