This should be the Sagaz "Select 22". = I have them in my Westy. They are not perfect on the Captain's = chairs in a Westy, but they are the best thing available (the = attachment isn't quite right, and there is no provision for the arm = rests). I got some for some list members with non-Westy Vanagons, = and I believe they were quite pleased with the fit.
Wish we had Canadian Tire - seems like they are a = veritable bonanza of Vanagon stuff!

Bought some quite nice ones at Canadian Tire in = Ottawa. Name is SAGAZ (available all over Canada and I suspect in = the US). Mine are low key charcoal gray with discrete herringbone = patern. About $70 Canadian as I remember around $45 US for both = fronts.
The store had a video kiosk display which I've seen =

looking up the right part number for your vehicle. Vanagon was =
listed... and they actually fit.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for all the help.
Todd,
I reupholstered my '81 Westy camper a couple of years = ago, front buckets and rear bench. Sewfine had just come out with their = Vanagon kits. You can find them advertised in any of the VW-oriented = magazines.
I called them and they sent their catalog and fabric = swatches. They didn't have kits for the rear bench seat (don't know if = they do now), but they gladly sold me extra yardage in the same fabric = I selected for the front buckets. If you can wrap a Christmas package = neatly and operate a home sewing machine, you can do it yourself. = Otherwise, a local upholstery shop will sew the few seams necessary and = you can pull them on and staple them up.
I'm very pleased with the results.
Lee
