You might try someone like Autos. They carry a large inventory of hides and could probably match it.
BTW, this is post number 356 for me.

You could try Rick "Stitch" Coleman. He makes excellent reproduction bags. He's on eBay and at http://classicinteriorsbystitch.com

I used Pete McNulty to replace the strap on my travel kit bag. He used the original hardware (except for the rivet) and "aged" the leather. It looks really good. He also did my spare tire strap the same way. If I recall correctly, he has new buckles if needed. That was back in 2014, I'm not sure if he still does this. If you haven't already found a solution let me know and I'll send you his contact information.

I make blue tool bags and have over 400 in stock, you could get one and use it to repair yours.
