Colour match for mine was excellant, though it was cream so quite an easy one to match.
May be worth contacting him to see if you can send a swatch for him to match.

Yes. Might see if the existign gaiter has got a little bit of material I can cut off without destroying it in case he can't match it.

I would check first if I was you.
I asked them if they could do buiscuit and they said no, only the colours that they stated in the auction description.

Tried searching for the e-mail they sent me, but must have deleted it. Perhaps they have started doing more colours?
If you manage to get yours done and it matches I would obviously be interested to know.

Just checked out their e-bay page again and still only says a few colours available, Also if you look at their "warehouse" page they are offering a cream Chim gaiter at the moment, but the colour match in the photo does not look that good.......but good luck

Nope, you're correct they couldn't do biscuit, they sent me some samples out but they were all too cream, so I sent them a picture of them next to my seats/centre console to show the difference and ask if they had any other matches and I didn't even get a reply!

The one featured in this ad' on ebay is mine,
I ask Mr gaiter (Ala) if he manufactured Chimaera gaiters, but he did not have the correct pattern, so I sent him my old one from which he made the gaiter,
As you say if you can cut off a small piece and send it to him, I am sure he could find a match.
