How to get a “tight”, OEM quality seat cover fit?

I know there are a few suppliers out there who make OEM matching seat covers. And I’m sure most decent upholsterers can do a respectable installation, or even DIY can look great. I’ve seen a lot on this forum. But how do I get a true high quality OEM fit and appearance? What are the suppliers or tips/tricks I need to know?

This is an original survivor seat, notice the shape and tight fit…

I believe this green cover is a reproduction, and they got it spot on (this is what I am looking for)…

These are examples of great looking covers, but have minor bumps or wrinkles, or just don’t have that “OEM” feel…
