Anyone ever see a cloth tonneau cover?

MY fiancee just got a hold of one of these off ebay, and it looks really nice. My beef is that it's vinyl and holds wrinkles really easily, but that's expected. I like the fiberglass ones, but they are pretty hefty in size and take up space. When it came down to doing a road trip, we can fit all our crap into her car or mine, but need all the space we can get. It's not too great appearance wise, but hey, it's not bad. Has anyone ever seen one?

My idea would be use the 3-piece boot and then have this part not cover that section - that way one could put the top up or down with it there... And it's not like they're expensive either, it's the embroidery that'd cost the most...:D

If seen cloth covers quite a few times. But the only thing is that on every car i have ever seen them on, they have been custom convertables, such as pre 87' ASC camaros or an 87 Monte carlo. And these soft covers usually snapped on to the car and could not go up and down with the top. I never have seen one for a 3rd or 4th gen f-body from anyone. If you could find a way to make these, there might be some good money in it. A lot of people hate the way the car looks with out the toneau (boot) on but either hate the hassle of putting it on, or hate carrying it around.
