1960s armchair slipcover or reupholster?

I have a 1960's vintage Parker Knoll wing back armchair. (The one in the picture isn’t mine - it’s from eBay - but it’s the same model). It is in good condition but I’d like to cover it in a different fabric. Is it possible to have a slip cover made for a chair like this? Sorry if silly question, but I’m wondering how that would work with the wing back shape, etc. I’m assuming it would have to be bespoke? I don’t want the expense of reupholstering, especially as it’s in good condition.

Image is under review - not sure how long that takes.

It's worth looking into slipcovers. I recently found the product range had moved on and you get covers for L shaped sofas, modular sofas and riser recliners. It will give you time to get reupholstery costs and the perfect patter sorted.

Thanks @ManyATrueWord- have you found any particular companies you thought you were good for this?
