A company IS reproducing it now and yes the gator grain is 54" instead of 60". That is why all the gator grain tops did not have a wide seam. We have had major problems with the company that is reproducing it, so I won't put their name out for the world to see. However, if you would like to try your hand with this company, send me a private message and I'll give you the info.
The reproduction material is very close to the original in pattern size, but it's a bit shiny and not as embossed as the original. If I hadn't found me some original, that repro stuff would be going on my car.
