66-67 Charger Seat Cover Question

[Voodoo]

I've noticed that the reproduction covers for these all have the same stitching pattern, but have a pretty well-defined "tuck and roll" bump between each row of stitches. The rear covers in mine are not split, have the same stitch pattern, but are flat. I feel like a good number of pictures I've seen of original ones seem to also be flat. is this just an age thing where they have flattened out over time, or did they come flat from the factory?

The '66 had a horizontal pattern, '67 was vertical. I think there is a layer of batting sewn into the covers that gives a little shape to the pattern. The batting goes flat over time and the vinyl also shrinks pulling everything tighter.
