The 1/16" woven flat webbing in the illustration is very similar to what was there originally. One thing to be careful about on the fender skirt cushion material is thickness.
Many have used the material available from Restoration Specialties and others. It doesn't come in the correct width but buying a wider width and cutting in half to fit the fender skirts is the usual method. The 1/16" thickness usually works but is right at the upper limit for some of the skirts to fit properly when bolted on. You might place your skirts on the car and take note of how much clearance there is between the skirt and fender to see what might fit.
McMaster-Carr has thinner .025 and .053 cotton webbing in appropriate widths but it does not appear to be water resistant.
