Might want to contact Seatco in Bailey's Crossroads.

I've used Joe's Upholstry in Frederick in the past. A bit of a drive from DC, but they do very nice quality work for a lot less $ than the DC area shops.

As a horse enthusiast, I especially enjoyed the photo of the viceroy on Joe's Upholstery's Website. (Not to mention the Honda S2K, since I used to have one.)

In my experience, the job takes about 2-3 hours plus around $100 in materials. Which is why I did them myself.

As it turns out, the collision repair shop that fixed my Jag over a month ago chipped the little triangular window along the passenger C-pillar. The part alone is nearly $1,100. (I always say, it's not the purchase, it's the upkeep!)
The repair center doesn't want to eat that much money. So I've proposed a trade for some additional repairs/body work...including replacing the headliner. This may work out quite well!

UPDATE
Repair shop wouldn't bite on the exchange offer. Quotes around town are $375 - $410 for replacement, but a couple of shops said they will only replace the sagging section. That seems illogical. A decision will be made today and I'll update after the work is completed FYI.

FWIW, I pulled the headliner 'shell' out of my car and had Seatco recover it. Saved a bit of $ that way, and was easy to do on that particular car.

Crazy Rays up near Baltimore has lots of Jag sedans and coups in their yard (the last time I was there) http://crazyraysautoparts.com/ Looked like most had mechanical not collision issues.
