Default source for mohair upholstery fabric

I was recently horrified to find that the fabric on my 1930 Coupe seat had sustained some damage whereby the mohair fibers are missing in some areas. I'm not sure how this happened, but I'm told that it is most likely moth damage.

I'd like to try to replace the damaged areas but I cannot find a source for the fabric. Complicating the issue is that I'm not sure what the original color was called. The upholstery was done some time in the early 80s by the now defunct LeBaron Bonney Company and unfortunately I don't have any record of the work.

I dealt with Mike at Classtique Upholstery, but he seemed to want to redo the entire seat bench and back rather than sell just the fabric. Unfortunately that isn't in the budget right now.

If anyone has any suggestions or another source for the fabric I'd appreciate the guidance. Thanks!
