Where to get "sheep skin" leather to redo some of the interior?

Hi guys (and gals!)

So I installed a new double-din unit in the center console and I need to finish it around.

I could go with the standard black mat plastic or the piano black finish but what I really want is the same grey leather I have on the dash board.

I'm looking for a "thin" piece of leather matching my interior color. I will also reupholster the key fob that's damaged at a few spots...
For this, I really need a sheep-skin like, thin piece of leather.

Do you know any supplier I can buy this from?

Thanks!

Hi! No I actually mean leather but really thin so it's easy to work on curve surfaces and angles...

You might want to check with the same supplier that other guy got his Alcantara from: (they seem to have leather too)
