Is Twillfast top really similar to German OEM

Looking to replace top on my '99. One local installer recommended Twillfast saying it's close to appearance on Stock German cloth.

All the famous fabrics are made by the Haartz Cooperation: Haartz Corporation |

Twillfast is a brand of the Haartz Cooperation, as well as Sonnenland is. Haartz just bought these companies and brands.

Porsche in general uses the Sonnenland fabric for their cars.
