OEM Style Carpet Mats

OEM Style Carpet Mats
Subject: 96' XJS , Topaz with Oatmeal Interior (SDN + AGD).
I know there are a variety of vendors who can supply mats. But wanted to ask you guys if you have a favorite vendor for these mats. Especially one that can do custom work.
What I'm trying to do is have some correct fitting mats made that are the approximate color, but with a lighter (cream?) edging for contrast. Any ideas where I can look ? Thanks.

I have a set of front floor mats on order from:
https://www.lloydmatsstore.com/ultimat-floor-mats
Haven't received them yet, but their website offers plenty of colour options and seems professional and $US120 cost hopefully indicates decent quality.

they are around 5/16in thick.
I eyeballed the shade of grey and it looks okay. Car not here, so presume shape fits.
I was trying for exact colour match. Impossible if using a monitor. Colour a bit greener than the grey carpet in the car but will look fine. They will send colour swatches for the OCD

$US120 front only.
No to both questions.
Their website let's you select XJS re shape and size. Haven't fitted them to the car yet.

I used GB Classic Trim. I worked with Graham and he ended up making up exact replicas of the 1996 mats, including the Jaguar heel pad and the plastic channel that secures it to the metal panel underneath the mats. Velcro sewn in where it's supposed to be too! Looks perfect.
I didn't get a chance to chime in before you placed your order with Lloyds, so I kept quiet. I figured you might have seen the post.
I didn't specify that I didn't wan't the heel pad on the mat under the overmat...but I am not complaining!

I'm a bit ignorant here. LOL I am confused between the terms carpet mats and over-mats (or overlays). Generally speaking, are they two different terms meaning the same thing ? Or two different items ? Sorry for my confusion.

WOOPS!! I messed up the Link. Here is the correct Link:
https://www.americanfloormats.com/luxe-car-mats/
While not OEM correct, I thought these heavy 48oz. carpet mats look good. What do you all think ?

The XJS was a bit unusual insofar that it didn't have a single fitted carpet as you will know. The footwell carpets are removable, held in place on the floor with a cutout for the accelerator stop and a plastic retaining strip underneath that clips behind the metal strip on the floorpan in front of the seat.
So, when people talk about "carpet mats", sometimes they mean these footwell carpets, and sometimes they mean mats that fit on top of the footwell carpets. To make it more confusing, sometimes these overmats are exactly the same shape as the footwell carpets.
Hope that makes sense.
