Milano upholstery?

Anybody have any experience buying upholstery fabric from Re-Originals? I see that they offer the tweed fabric that was used in the Silver models, which I very much prefer to my Gold's original corduroy, but from the info on their badly-designed website I can't tell how much fabric I'd get for my $70, a yard or a car's worth. Now, this is well down on my priorities list for old Rico, but I'd like to start gathering materials pretty soon for the cosmetic improvements we'll make after the important mechanical issues are all dealt with.

I have purchased Milano fabric from them in the past. The pricing is per meter, and the fabric is 1.4 meters wide. I am sure you saw that there are 2 patterns available (or at least I assume they are still available) that make up the seats and door trim panels. I ordered 7 meters of U0248, and 4 meters of U0249 (not all at once, but total). By my calculations, this will be enough to do the whole car. I have not upholstered the car yet, so I can not be sure if these quantities are correct.
